Louisville City Council Meeting May 6, 2003 Page 6 of 11 Davidson explained the problem is the result of the developer building large homes on small lots.

Davidson agreed, and suggested the resolution recommending the 57 lots be submitted for the next Council meeting under Consent Agenda Items. MOTION: Davidson moved that Council table Resolution No. 14, Series 2003, to the May 20, 2003 meeting, seconded by Sisk. All in favor. Marsella absent. AUTHORIZE EXECUTION OF PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR BNSF FUNDING OF RAILROAD BRIDGE STRUCTURE FOR THE HIGHWAY 42/96m STREET CONNECTION PROJECT Davidson called for Staff presentation. Public Works Director Tom Phare reported that Public Utilities Commission (PUC) approval is required for all new railroad crossings, including the proposed bridge structure that will cross the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad as part of the 96th Street/SH 42 Connection project. He noted there is also an opportunity, through this PUC application, to require the BNSF railroad to provide funding for this project. As part of the funding request, the City is required to close two existing at-grade railroad crossings at Lock Street and South Street. At Lock Street, an alternative access must be given to local property owners by extending the street east to the proposed 96th Street/SH 42 intersection. The Lock Street crossing would only need to be closed if a railroad funding agreement were successfully negotiated. MOTION: Sisk moved that Council authorize the execution of PUC Application for BNSF Funding of Railroad Bridge Structure for the 96th/sH 42 Connection Project, seconded by Brown. All in favor.
