Boulder County can't manage the 54,000 acres of open space that they own yet they <br />won't give up 30-40 acres to spare people's homes. <br /> <br />Jan Haight, 10925 Dillon Road, questioned whether the latest alignment identified by the <br />Boulder County Commissioners has been revised. She stated that she would like to see <br />the Northwest Parkway moved south of Dillon Road for various reasons. She believes it <br />would make better sense from a design standpoint.

He stated that churches are allowed in nearly every zoning <br />category that the City of Louisville has. There is no specific zoning for churches, as the <br />City does not want to direct where they should be located. <br /> <br />Davidson called for Council comments and questions. <br /> <br />Mayer asked to provide a brief history on the Northwest Parkway. He stated there was an <br />election in 1988 to determine if the voters in the northwest part of the metro area wanted <br />to tax themselves, at the rate of $10 per year on a registration fee, to fund W470.
