He explained this does not fit within the existing neighborhood, which is small to medium sized houses on one lot. Garrett Mundelein, 555 County Road, Louisville, CO voiced his support for the proposal and his appreciation for thE; neighbors' position. He noted a similar situation occurred along County Road, which impacted his home. He stated it is difficult for neighbors to go beyond tlhe emotion of change in the neighborhood. John Wenzel, 109 W. Spruce Street, Louisville, CO presented a petition signed by 57 residents, who support the Planning Commissions' decision to limit the construction on 245 Spruce to one house. Tim Seeber, 821 McKinley Avenue, Louisville, CO voiced his opposition to proposal. He reported speaking to Mr. Ramsey relative to the subdivision of the property, but was not convinced the property should contain two homes. He noted the trees are a major part of C>Id Town Louisville and felt smaller equipment could have been used to eliminate the stress on the trees. He did not support a larger home on the lot. He felt the proposal to build two houses on one lot was a money issue. Phyllis Greene, Greene Realty & Management, Louisville, CO stated she was the realtor for the property. She voiced her support of the property and presented information, which illustrated four lots in Louisville that were subdivided to accommodate two homes. She stated the home at 245 Spruce Street was not of historic value, nor was it structurally sound enough to permit a second story. JoBelle Orvis, 355 W. Spruce Street, Louisville, CO supported the proposal and stated it is only natural for the property owners to want full value for their property. She stated any development will remove trees for home construction. Herb Orvis, 355 W. Spruce Street, Louisville, CO stressed Mr. Ramsey would build two quality homes. Doreen Romero stated she is the former owner of the home at 245 Spruce Street, but now resides in Lafayette, CO. She voiced her support for the proposal. She noted the petition presented to Council misrepresented the wishes of some of the residents. She stated there have been rumors the proposal is ruining Old Town Louisviille, but noted two smaller homes were more in the character of Old Town.
