Regular Meeting, Louisville City Council, June 6, COLORADO AND SOUTHERN RAILWAY ANNEXATION REQUEST PAGE 2 be forwarded to the Planning Commission for their review and recommendations. Seconded by Councilman DelPizzo. Question called for. 3. Ayes, Councilman DiCarlo, No. Motion carried. Administrator Wurl informed Council the request for annexation was for land adjacent to CTC, and brought attention to a letter from Don Houlehan and a map depicting the area. Mr. Larry Mizel, Don Houlehan, and Joe Howard were in attendance. Mr. Houlehan of the law firm DeMuth, Eiberger, Kemp and Backus, stated he represented the C&S RR. The reason for the request at this time was that an agreement had been reached and pre- liminary costs had been worked out with respect to bringing water and sewer lines into the Colorado Technological Center up to Dillon Road. They are being fully planned and installed and costs will be shared by the property owners within the CTC area and the railroad; therefore C&S is anxious to get the annexation of its property completed before the utility lines are installed to serve the entire area. Mayor Waschak asked how soon the railroad anticipated laying the utility lines? Mr. Houlehan replied August 17, 1978 if everything goes according to schedule. Hr. Larry Mizel, of CTC; at the completion of annexation and zoning, working plans will be started and as soon as the working plans can be developed and bids are out, they plan to physically go forward with the utility lines to Dillon Road and the inter- section of the railroad. Delay over the past 18 months was caused by the railroad wanting to complete the annexation and zoning of all their land before advancing funds necessary to complete the utilities. This expenditure amounts to approximately $400,000. Mr. Mizel stated they do have a written commitment from the railroad for this ex- penditure subject to the annexation.
