to the main gas pipeline that runs through the area. He was wondering what influence the Council had in upholding a decision that was made earlier. Paul Wood, City Planner, stated that Outlot I is a private outlot that is deeded and maintained by the Homeowner's Association. He stated that the direction for condition for approval of Exhibit A, Resolution No. 43 was a requirement to provide a 30 ft. wide access easement. Mr. Maurer informed Wood that the overlot grading on Coal Creek Ranch Filing No. 4 had substantially changed the grade of Outlot I. Wood referred it to the City Attorney's office. Susan Griffiths, City Attorney, stated that it is apparent that the access easement was included on the PUD at the request of Mr. Maurer and is an accommodation to Mr. Maurer. She stated that at the City Council meeting at which the PUD and Subdivision Plat were approved, prior to the actual motion to approve the Plat and PUD, Councilman Sisk made a statement, according to the minutes of the meeting, speaking to Mr. Maurer, that if the PUD is approved, that it becomes incumbent upon the two parties to work this out and that the City of Louisville cannot be part of the agreement. She stated that the access easement was a matter between Mr. Mauer and Coal Creek Ranch and the City was willing to accommodate the inclusion of the access easement on the Plat, but the actual implementation of that was in the hands of those two parties. She stated that the conditions had been met for Plat approval and the PUD had been filed. She stated that if Mr. Mauer has a concern with respect to the grade, his remedy would be to approach Coal Creek Ranch. She wasn't sure what actions the City could or should appropriately take to assist in the resolution of this other than urging the two individuals to sit down and work this out. Howard wondered of Public Works had any concerns about this grading being changed from 7% to 23%, which eliminates the possibility of using that as a driveway access. Tom Phare, Director of Public Works, stated that they've taken the position that the access issue is an issue between Maurer and Coal Creek Ranch. Public Works didn't have any documents that provided any restriction on grades or gave them any criteria as to what should or shouldn't be approved by Coal~ Creek Ranch. Phare did state that a 23% grade is not desirable and will present problems for access, particularly during the winter months. Phare stated that the City is required to enforce an access to County property. Mayer wanted a report on Mr. Mauer's situation by next Council meeting, if possible. Davidson called for anyone else in the audience who wished to speak on any item not on the Agenda. NONE
