referring to all three (3) of those documents. Davidson: Council agreed. I wonder if Council would object to us holding our questions until after the public comments? Sheffield: My understanding in talking with our engineer, the two (2) bound copies are pages 1 & 2 of the plat and the single page is page 3 of the plat, which that part was revised by Planning Commission. So, it is a complete set. One (2) and two (2) are as is, three (3) also is. All three of those documents are part of the plat. Davidson asked for comments from interested parties in favor of the subdivision plat. Barbara Turner, 1495 Franklin Court, Louisville, CO, supports the subdivision. She is a neighbor and has always expected this tract to be developed. She likes the open space, but she feels that the developer has the right to develop it. She supports the conditions that the Planning Commission has put on this subdivision. She was concerned about the height that these houses could be. The City of Louisville allows the 35 ft. height restriction to be calculated from the street level plus 35 ft. She felt that if you have a situation where the lot falls downhill from the street, you could possibly have a situation where the house is 60 ft. higher than the back of the lot. In her situation, from her back property line to the proposed street is 30 ft. So, the house might be 65 ft. higher than her back property line. She would like for the City to have a more realistic interpretation of height allowance. She felt it would be more effective for the community to have the 35 ft. height limitation come from the existing ground, rather than the proposed road in front of the house. Other neighbors that live close to the east and to the south are not looking forward to seeing 50 - 60 ft. houses blocking their view. She supports the idea of the park. She feels that the proposed access on to South Boulder Road is taking away the open space that was granted in this subdivision 12 years ago. She believes that a path should be placed along Davidson Ditch to connect the open space up to South Boulder Road. She felt it would be a benefit to the community to have an access from this open space up to where West Willow Street for their children to get from one part of the town to another. Davidson called for anyone else in the audience who wished to speak in favor of the subdivision. 16
