•• ~' 1 page 14 7/3/84 Dan Locker I live at 1614 Sunset Drive. I have an application in for a permit with the City. It's right now frozen and will cost me quite a bit of money. I'm not going to be using water until December. I would like to go ahead and build the house because I don't think it will affect the water problem if your going to get more water on August 15th or whatever and I would like you to consider letting me build the house but restrict the tap until later. Jad Mansour 1209 12th Street, Boulder. I submitted an application for a building permit and was told that I could not build right now. I would like to build right now and maybe get the water tap later on I also have a small well on the property that I could use during con- struction and I would also use it in the future for landscaping. The water I need From•the City would only be for drinking and personal use. James Ayers 528 W. Fir Way. We just moved into Louisv:Ill~ and it looks like we're not going to be able to have the water that we need. I was here on Saturday and it was a nice presentation by Mr. Kasch but there were alot cry questions unanswered. My understanding is that we can't presently treat sufficient water for existing households. The reason we can't is because we need to make improvements to the pre-treatment basih and that our existing facility, part which was built in 1934 can then handle the water. I haven't heard any guarantees from anybody that that in fact will be the case. So little is known that we're hoping that the design capacity is in fact the actual capacity and that we won't really know that until October when it is fully on line and tested. My concern is that you understand that the citizenry is also concerned about the permits that will be issued between now and the time that we know whether our uncertain water system will have the capacity to serve those homes. The concern I have is that you get to the bottom of the problem not in the sense of being able to locate the blame, but find out where you need to go from here. And to find out what the capacity of the system is if in fact the present engineers can't tell you that then maybe you need to get a second opinion. I'd like to see the Council continue the moratorium in the interem. Tom Hoyt 3180 Coalena, Boulder. I'm here from McStain Entp. We thought we had no problem with water but obviously we do. As a developer we've made considerable committ- ments to the City of Louisville over an extended period of time which is a two way street. We make the committment, we dedicate land to reserviours, parks, schools, we extend public utilities in the multiple of millions of dollars and we get building permits in return essentially. We've done all of those things and you're in the position where you may have problems giving us permits in return. I'd like to point out that we have made a tremendous attempt to be good citizens in this town, we try to employ good planning, we have considerable number of our own employees who are citizens of Louisville whose jobs are in jeopardy based on your decision s today. We've made a real attempt to build balanced housing in this town not just one kind of developmeni;, all kinds of housing. Permits today are not usable water taps in this irrigation system. I'm saying consider us too when your making this decision and do as good of a job as you can with all the things that you have to take into consideration.
