Sr�sUt According to the ems of Homrsi there were 616 owners occupying housing units ad 187 rare s units la the City of Louisville. In 1970, 23.3% of all occupied housing units in the City were renter occupied housing unite while the average for the State of Colorado was 32.8%. This dif- ference in percentage of renter occupied units would suggest that the City needs to encourage the development Omni rout ti-family lousing units so that there is a better mix of housing types. However, this proposed development would add 2.6 tires the number of existing renter occupied housing units in the City which is in far excess of the future demand for multi-falsity housing. The vacancy rate of housing units for rent or sale was 1.4%. Generally, a rate of five (S) percent is desirable so that there is adequate choice in n housing location and types. More building of residential structures is indicated so that an adequate balance a between vacancies and occupied housing units would result. llesidentiat land use according to the Louisviile Comprehensive Develop- ment Plan is quite casctly developed with few vecamnt lots inside the incorporated l immi is of the City. Therefore, a need to MCI had to accommodate the expected exists. However, the proposed annexation is much larger than the need which been delineated in this analysis. Sumer Systaens At the present time, there is approximately a population of 3.000 on the system according to the Boulder City-County wealth Department, with the designed sewage treatment capacity being 2,500 population (at 100 gal/day/person equaling it 250.000 gal/day hydrollc load). The addition of this subdivision to the service adjacent property for expansion present s system.proceeding and construction iins�dyitto of as soon as the City has these rights, weather permitting. Once the land is an- nexed, and the subdivision approved, the City has shown its intent to serve the area. However, there does not appear to be sufficient time for the construction of this additional treatment fonds `lion the land is developed. It would be more appropriate to await commpleticn of the expansion of the sewage treat- ment facilities and new l'ne constn ,ction before committing to provide service to new areas. The County Engineering Department had the foliating caenarlts concerning roads: 1. Via Apple is shown as a mslor arterial on the County Circulation Plan, and Lafayette Street as a collector. Both these roads should be designed to appropriate standards instead of the proposed sinuous alignmannt. 2. On the Circulation Plan, Via Appia is shown as on the western edge of Section 8, so as to serve development on the east in Section 7 as well as development on the west in Section A. Justification for the present alignment should be lade from an overall circulation point of view.
