She noted that only 13 homes were located on top of the ridge., she asked if that's all that oould be accomodated, would the developer be willing to build only 13 homes. Mr. Ochsner noted that the building only of the 13 would not be economically feasible. If the City Council decided not to accept this proposal the land would simply be sold to someone else,, as the heir were entitled to a profit. Mr. Ochsner noted the Council's concern that the development would go past the ridge. He also stated that the developer would provide a lift station to accomodate the proposed homes. Mr. Farland stated that they are attempting to work with the city in offering fair ex- change. They are giving open space, water, Councilman Cussen moved that the proposal k.~:=; sent to the Planning Commision with stipule;. tion that should this meet their approval, or an amended plan, that no building permit~< be issued on this site, until the Howard Berry Water Treatment Plant is functioning. Seconded by Meier. When are you anticipating this? 1986. We would appreciate the opportunity to have the Planning Commission look at this. Steve Yatchak Mr. Ste•e Yatchak, 1091 Azure Way, stated that he had a personal interest in this proposal a:; it was right behind his house. He stated that he had a number of major problems with, this development. He felt that it was in direct conflict with the Louisville Compre° hensive Plan. A second problem stated that. this proposal is outside the Louisville Service Area and that there were significant properties within the Louisville service area that will allow for appropriate develop- ments and growth for Louisville for many years to come. He also noted the problem with the availaba~,'.t~~~tr ted water. He made reference t g d~developers and heirs to estates and felt that council should lead the city to successful growth by intellegent planning. He stated that the development would increase a significant amount of future pressure and desire to extend that road to Baseline Road. He asked sxg~gstax that the plan not be approved. Farland Mr. Farland took exception to Mr. Yatchak's comments relative to greed. Although. it was Mr. Yatchak's personall opinion, Mr. Farland felt that the comment of greea~ developer was out of order. He introduced Mr. John Berman, Attorney for the Teresa Steinbeck. Berman Mr. Berman stated that MrS Steinbeck was one of Boulder County's most generous people. He stated that over 20$ of the monies in the estate are earmarked for charities in this area and in the Denver Metro area.
