subdivision ordinance, the City Comprehensive Plan, including the South Sub Area Plan, the
<br />Louisville/Lafayette Buffer Comprehensive Development Plan/IGA, and the Meisel Annexation
<br />Agreement.
<br />
<br />Davidson called for the applicant to speak on eligibility for change in zoning.
<br />
<br />Bernard Lash, private land planning consultant, Bemard Lash & Associates, 6 West Dry Creek Circle,
<br />Suite 201, Littleton, Colorado 80120, introduced Linda Purdy, Assistant Project Manager with
<br />Richmond Homes.. Zvi Ridawsky, Woodhaven Management Co., L.L.C., representing Boulder
<br />County Land Venture, Matt Deibel, Project Manager with Richmond Homes, Tim Garrelts, Executive
<br />Vice President with Richmond Homes, and Ron Dutton with Hammer, Syler, George, a market and
<br />economic consulting firm. He commented that the property to the north, approximately 160 acres,
<br />is designated as Rural Preservation, the property to the northeast is a residential development called
<br />South Pointe with smaller, more traditional type lots, located in Lafayette, to the northeast is the
<br />Maple Grove Subdivision, to the east is property designated for Rural Preservation, larger, ranchette-
<br />type sites, to the southeast is about a 7.5 acre residential parcel, and to the south is Boulder County
<br />open space. He pointed that if you use 104th, the north/south arterial, as an imaginary line, looking
<br />at that quadrant, there are no other non-residential uses in that immediate area. This development
<br />will not have a negative fiscal impact on the City of Louisville. With a rural-type, one acre lot setting,
<br />the project did not have any negative development impacts. They are bounded on the entire north
<br />edge by a natural drainageway. They are bounded on the west by 104th, a minor arterial. They are
<br />bounded on the south by Dillon Road and on the east they had provided the 150' buffer that was
<br />suggested in the IGA. They put a five acre park in the center of their development to serve as a focal
<br />point and a benefit to the residents. Although the property is not in the CTC District, they would be
<br />improving their capabilities by providing a lift station site at the northeast corner of the property and
<br />continuing and looping a 16" water line, thereby providing additional services not only to themselves,
<br />but to CTC.
<br />
<br />Ron Dutton, Hammer Syler George, Associates, an economics and real estate consulting firm, 1638
<br />Pennsylvania, Denver, Colorado 80203, stated that the property is eligible for rezoning under the
<br />criteria of changes in the market conditions.
<br />
<br />Davidson called for public comments.
<br />
<br />Bill Avery, 11026 Maple Road, Lafayette, Colorado, pointed out that, regarding the qualifications
<br />to meet the criteria for rezoning, the usage of the property had not changed, the property to the
<br />northeast, which is not contiguous to this property, had changed. The area to the south had changed
<br />to Boulder County open space, but the use of the land had not changed.
<br />
<br />Davidson called for Council questions or comments.
<br />
<br />Lathrop asked who are the owners of the property.
