PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA Arlin Lehman, 908 Main Street, Louisville, Colorado, explained that he has been working on a project for the past year-and-a-half, and after attending some meetings regarding the Downtown Design Guidelines, he noticed that his project far exceeded what the Design Guidelines recommend. When he began the process, he assumed that the current fifty-foot height limit and no strict parking requirements would apply. He has since redesigned the project to provide parking. He is concerned that Council is rushing to pass a height limitation due to their knowledge of his upcoming project. He expressed willingness to work with the City, and stated he has redesigned the project three times in an effort to do so. He encouraged Council to contact him to discuss the matter further, and distributed copies of his project to Council. Erik Hartronft, 1021 South Boulder Road, Louisville, Colorado, gave a brief synopsis of a meeting held this moming to discuss downtown parking proposals. He reported that there were two proposed plans, and there appears to be support for the permit system Mayor Davidson proposed. He asked to present the information he has to date at the September 29, 1998, City Council Work Session. He reviewed the changes made to Arlin Lehman's project regarding architecture and parking. He stated that the project's parking plan proposes dedicating private land to the City for public parking.
