Mayor Waschak asked if anyone was opposed to Ordinance No. 690. Paul Brooks, 240 Mohawk Drive, Boulder. He questioned "the number of units in the parcel, population equivalents and density. It was his understanding that the density was 2.2 for the ensuing annexations, and asked if a revised study had been made relative to water and sewer utilities within the urban services area. Mayor Waschak asked for staff remarks. Attorney Joss reported that the annexation petitions were complete and signed. Asked that Staff respond to Mr. Brooks' questions. Community Development Director Rupp responded he had discussed the density question with Mr. Drumm at length. In the Suitts development the breakdown for 411 acres was 1,680 units. That represented an overall density of 4.1 dwelling units per acre. In the Hocheder annexation request there are 126 acres to be developed and 550 units - this represents 4.4 dwellings per acre. In this respect it was his opinion this was not inconsistant. Councilman Carnival inquired about popu- lation equivalency and the accuracy of the Centennial Valley water treatment facility. Director Rupp replied research has been made of what is left available in the urban services area to be developed with residential density so as not to exceed utilities availability. Councilman Carnival expressed concern on the timing of the drilling in the agricultural area and wanted some assur- ance that the drilling would not still be going on after the major portion of the subdivision has been developed.
