City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />October 16, 2007 <br />Page 9 of 15 <br />Council Member Sackett commended the developer for the changes to the plan. <br />He noted the north area of Louisville is being developed on both sides of <br />Highway 42 and suggested the street configuration be designed to funnel traffic <br />into the downtown and commercial areas of the City. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Brown voiced concern over asking the developer to reconfigure <br />the streets in the proposal. <br />Planning Director Wood reviewed the street configurations and the traffic <br />patterns and stated the Planning Staff and the Developer will continue to work on <br />the traffic plan. <br />Mayor Sisk voiced his support for Resolution No. 57, Series 2007. <br />MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Brown moved to approve Resolution No. 57, Series <br />2007, seconded by Council Member Muckle. The motion carried by a vote of 6- <br />1. Council Member Sackett voted no. Mayor Sisk left the meeting at 5:00 p.m. <br />DISCUSSION/DIRECTION ON PROPOSED NOISE ORDINANCE <br />City Manager Fleming reported on a citizen request for the City to adopt <br />regulations to restrict noise dleemed excessive and unreasonable. Council <br />Member Muckle prepared and submitted a draft noise ordinance, which was <br />reviewed and revised by Staff to make it easier to understand and to enforce. <br />The draft ordinance defines specific levels of noise permitted in the City and <br />includes enforcement provisions. He noted the City already has an ordinance to <br />deal with "disturbing the peace" for those situations where there is noise or <br />conduct disturbances. The draft ordinance requires a citizen to initiate a <br />complaint with the police department. The complainant would be identified and <br />may have to appear in court. He noted there is some overlap between this draft <br />ordinance and the provision:; in the existing code. The overlapping and/or <br />potentially conflicting provisions would need to be reconciled if the Council <br />wishes to proceed. He requested discussion and direction on the proposed <br />noise ordinance. <br />PUBLIC COMMENT <br />Pete Clements, 954 W. Alder Street, Louisville, CO supported the ordinance and <br />explained his wife had been quite ill and was disturbed by a neighbor, who <br />started his motorcycle every day at 4:00 a.m. and allowed it to idle ten to twenty <br />minutes. He contacted the F,olice relative to the disturbance, and was told after <br />their investigation, a summoins was not warranted. He then sought legal advice <br />
