Tanoue read by title only Ordinance No. 1266, Series 1997, "An ordinance approving an annexation, <br />known as the Carson Annexation to the City of Louisville, Colorado." <br /> <br />Davidson called for Council questions and comments. <br /> <br />Sisk asked how they proposed to develop the property under B.O. zoning. <br /> <br />Carlson stated they would like to do an office/campus type of development with a 33% F.A.R. <br /> <br />Howard asked if there had been a traffic study. <br /> <br />Carlson had not yet done one this early in the project. <br /> <br />Davidson asked how annexing this property would be of benefit to the City of Louisville. <br /> <br />Carlson stated that it would provid employment and add to the tax base. <br /> <br />Mayer was not sure what the benefit of this annexation would be to Louisville, no matter what the <br />zoning is. He pointed out the 88th Street is already heavily traveled and it would put additional <br />pressure on McCaslin, if not 96th Street. <br /> <br /> Sisk felt this annexation was just another way to create urban sprawl on Hwy. 36. He stated that they <br /> have relatively inexpensive property which would escalate vastly by virtue of this annexation. He <br /> agreed with Mayer's comments. <br /> <br /> Lathrop felt it was the applicant's burden to demonstrate to Council that this is a good annexation. <br /> <br /> Davidson stated that Council did not want 88th Street to become a four-lane road. He was <br /> concerned about the expense to the City as this would require the City to improve more of 88th <br /> Street. He wondered if the annexation would be a money loser for the City. He wondered about the <br /> B.O. zoning vs. the A.O.T. zoning. <br /> <br /> Lathrop moved that Council, with their comments, place Ordinance No. 1266, Series 1997, out for <br /> publication and set the public hearing for October 21, 1997. <br /> <br /> Davidson announced that Lathrop's motion died for a lack of a second. <br /> <br /> Sisk moved that Council deny the motion for annexation, Ordinance No. 1266, Series 1997, seconded <br /> by Mayer. <br /> <br /> Tanoue suggested going forward with Lathrop's motion, with a second, and the a vote taken. <br /> Sisk withdrew his motion, seconder Mayer agreed. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
