Mayor Fauson moved that Kevin Howard be appointed as the representative to the County Commissioners Open Space Committee and that Councilman Davidson be appointed as the alternate, seconded by Hornbostel. All in favor. DISCUSSION/MOTION - NEUMANN ANNEXATION LETTER OF INTEREST John Franklin III, Director of Community Development, reviewed the Neumann's request for consideration of annexation. Arthur H. Neumann owns approximately 57 acres of land which is located east of the City and north of Dillon Road. Mr. Neumann has expressed interest in annexing the property and developing a portion of the land for commercial use. A vicinity map and a copy of Mr. Neumann's request are attached. (Attachment B) The property is within the Louisville planning area and is also within the Lafayette planning area. The property is included in the Northwest Parkway Agreement and is designated as Open Space for acquisition. The City Attorney has reviewed the request in light of the IGA and recommends that the request be first referred to all parties to the agreement for comment. This issue would need to come back to Council twice informally or semi-formally. If Council desires to proceed it would then go to staff and then to the Planning Commission and back to Council. Paula (Mrs. Arthur) Neumann, 10935 Dillon Road, Broomfield, CO 80020 Neumann: We own a piece of property on Dillon Road very close to 287. It is contiguous with the City of Louisville on the west side. We feel that the IGA is not an iron clad proposal or agreement and that it is subject to change. We are asking the City of Louisville to go through the steps of petitioning the other cities and the members of the IGA to allow for a commercial development on the far eastern end of our property. The proposed commercial development would be in the far eastern comer off of Dillon Road and the Clarkston Comer. We have provided for an open space buffer. We have still allowed for our bird sanctuary. We have maintained a nice wildlife habitat and still allowed for a small amount of commercial growth. In the far east corner we have plans for a gas station and convenience store, nursery, and we have an idea for some sort of a new car or used car lot. These are all hypothetical. We would be responsible for the development, but we would allow other parties to participate. We have allowed for considerable landscaping to keep the rural atmosphere. With the nursery and landscaping it would be an added addition to the comer. We would like you to consider our proposal for annexing and for allowing this commercial development. Fauson: John, would the first step be to submit this letter to the other
