NONE Davidson went on to comments opposed to the subdivision. Debra Kalish, 477 Fireside, Louisville, CO, had a request from her daughter to ask Council to please save sled hill. Debra Kalish was at the meeting representing the Sierra Club. After meeting with neighbors, the members of the East County Issues Subcommittee of the Sierra Club voted unanimously to support the neighborhood in trying to prevent the development of sled hill. That resolution was taken on to the Executive Committee of the Indian Peaks group of the Sierra Club, which also passed that resolution unanimously. She stated that the position that the Sierra Club has taken is that they oppose the development of this particular piece of property in Louisville and would support looking for other possible means of purchasing or buying the land.

She stated that as existing homeowners, they would lose their rights to the air, light, and view, as stated in the Louisville zoning principles. She wondered, if the new homes east of Fillmore Place would be allowed to erect fences.

She asked that the letter that the Mayor had mentioned be made a part of the official record. Davidson: Certainly. We'll make that part of the record. Franklin: The zoning regulations allow 6 ft. privacy fences in the rear and side yards up to the front yard set backs.
