City Council Meeting Minutes October 18. 2016 Page 10 of 14 He asked what the impact on the schools would be with this plan. He suggested adding an additional bike lane on McCaslin Boulevard is not needed, perhaps Centennial parkway could be one lane, but not a reduction on McCaslin Boulevard. Curtis Paxton, 383 Meeker Court, stated he has talked to a number of residents, and he found citizens don't want Louisville to be Boulder. He doesn't think there is market pressure for changing the zoning. He asked Council to consider 1) a discussion of what the total population of Louisville should be 2) what is a real world vision for the area 3) incorporate more of a buffer between existing communities and new areas 4) most residents don't understand the difference between the Small Area Plan and Sam's Club redevelopment. Sonya Salki, 352 South Lark Avenue, has concerns about the impacts of this plan on the existing residences in the area, noise and traffic will be a nightmare. They will negatively impact the value of my home which is adjacent to the area. Frost Yamell, 1109 Hillside Lane, wanted to ask council to take the good things in the plan and consider closely the impact of adding residential to the areas now zoned commercial.

Chris Hagelin, 1068 Eagle Court, supports the plan for more urban and less suburban land uses for its lower impact on climate change, lower emissions, and a safer bike and pedestrian area. Cindy Bedell, 662 West Willow Street, likes the livability aspect of the Small Area Plan and traffic is a huge impact on quality of life. She doesn't want to see high density development in the McCaslin Boulevard area. She doesn't see the need for more residential and the loss of commercial areas. She would like to see a dark night ordinance implemented. Tom Ward, 1145 Hillside Court, stated his primary concern is adding residential and the impact it will have on the school system. Suggests not adding anymore residential until the school system can support it. He asked that a buffer be created between the Hillside
