Prior to Council action on the proposed annexation rezoning, the Council con- siers the Planning Commission forthcoming action on amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. 6. Questions and comments at the February 13, 1979, Planning Commission Public Hearing are adequately addressed. This Memorandum provides a status report on our progress in meeting these conditions and a response on the questions and comments made at the Planning Commission Public Hearing. 1. At the time of preparation this memorandum specific agreement concerning water tap fees and construction of planned utility facilities has not been reached. The lack of agreement does not reflect disinterest or non-copperation on the part of the developer; it results from a lack of time to sit down and negotiate these items. We anticipate agreement will be reached prior to the meeting Tuesday night and that said agreement will be contained in the overall annexation agreement which will be submitted to Council for consideration on Tuesday night in conjunction with the Public Hearing. (Please refer to previous material distributed by Leon concerning the cost associated with anticipated water and sewer improvements.) 2. The traffic analysis contained in the preliminary annexation impact statement was reviewed and expanded by Centennial Engineering in an effort to more accurately . depict the actual impact on Lousiville major thoroughfare system not only result- ing from commercial and residential protions of the Centennail Valley proposal, but STC wxpansion and CTC development as well. The final traffic analysis is contained in the final impact statement distributed to City Council a few weeks ago. . Staff has reviewed this traffic analysis and we believe it to be a fair and accurate projection of the major thoroughfare system needs and traffic considerations for Louisville. There is no question that Lousiville internal street sytem can be improved to accomodate the traffic volumes presented in the traffic analysis. The traffic analysis also includes that the widening of U.S. 36 from 4 lanes to 6 lanes will be necessiated by non Lousiville development regardless of the impact of the shopping center and further, that the Centennial Valley proposal will re- sult in the widening being required three years earlier as a result of the Centennial Valley proposal. Staff finds this to be an acceptable impact not only from the standpoint of need and timing but from consideration that the communities such as Boulder. Broomfield. Lafayette. and Westminster are also contributing to the need for the anticipated widening of the turnpike. As stated above concerning the financing of utility facilities, we have not been able to negotiate with
