Wood stated that in review of the previous Planning Commission Resolution No. 23, one condition was not carried forward to the Council that should have been, which is that the applicant provide a more specific phasing plan regarding C.O.'s by a quarterly or annual basis. Clifton Carney, 1506 Fillmore Court, Louisville, CO, spoke of his opposition to the proposed housing development on sled hill. He stated that while other municipalities dream of having open space, this piece of property is essentially that. He spoke of the rarity of having foxes in one's community, also. He commented that he felt growth was out of control in Louisville and that he was concerned about the overcrowding of the schools. He stated that, concerning the citizens meeting that was called at the Recreation Center, most of the citizens who were opposed to this development attended that meeting. He felt that the Mayor was telling them at the meeting that this was a "done deal", because Sheffield had done everything possible and that they should respect that and go on about their business. He stated that that was the impression that the Mayor left the people at the meeting with, so the people had given up. He asked the Council to represent the City, as they did the last time by again saying "no". Lin Daly, 1420 Fillmore Place, Louisville, CO, explained that she was disappointed. She felt Louisville is loosing something that they won't get back. She had a letter from the Division of Wildlife, which said that the only time that development can take place without possibly of killing the foxes is between October and January. She wanted to know that something is going to be done .... that when the earth moving equipment comes in, they don't just run over the dens and kill the foxes. She wanted the neighbors to be closely advised by the developer as to what is going to happen and when, so they can keep abreast of things. Kix~ McCloskey, 1491 North Fillmore Place, Louisville, CO, stated that the reality of the school situation has only worsened, since the November election and she didn't feel "phasing" would be enough to help. She asked that Council work closely with the School District to come to some permanent solution to this problem. She stated that there must be a balance between growth and providing for a community that already resides in Louisville, without conpromising their children's education and future. Davidson called for anyone else in the audience who wished to speak in favor or against this issue. NONE Davidson asked if there was a response from the applicant to the respondents.
