RESOLUTION NO. 8, SERIES 1997 SETTING A GOAL LIMITING THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED IN CALENDAR YEAR 1997 Bill Simmons, City Administrator, explained that Resolution No. 36, Series 1993, established goals and policies for the management of growth and development within the City of Louisville. Paragraph 4 of that resolution required the City Council to review annually the goal for the number of residential building permits issued in a calendar year. Resolution No. 8 stated that the City Council would strive to limit the number of residential building permits issued in 1997, so as not to exceed 75 single family equivalent. For that number, Single Family is one, Single Family Attached is .8, and a Multi Family would be .6. Davidson called for Council comments. Davidson recalled that he authored Resolution 36 in 1993 when Louisville was building 600 houses a year. Davidson called for anyone wishing to speak on this resolution. Dave Krutzman, 1392 Mountain Pines Road, was concerned about the new housing limit because it would affect his livelihood as he had an investment in Louisville of $100,000 in infrastructure so far and about $2 million that he was planned to add in houses. Davidson pointed out that the City had been doing this since 1993 and had not been rushed for building permits yet. He stated that this is not a growth cap, but a goal. Krutzman understood and was relieved. 5
