adoption of a Comprehensive Development Plan. Notification had been sent to the affected property owners. Notice of the hearing had been published June 19 & 22 in the Louisville Times. June 27 Boulder County Commissioners held a public hearing and it had been continued until July 2. It was then further continued to allow the Chairman of the Commissioners to meet with the Mayors of Lafayette and Louisville about Parcel 12. The City of Lafayette had already adopted this. Davidson had been contacted by Commissioner Stewart concerning the parcel east of Parcel 11, the Neuman property, which was on the map in error. Davidson called for public comments. Rocky Haight, 10925 Dillon Road (Parcel 11), Louisville, Colorado, stated that this property was approved by Lafayette for annexation. They are the buffer zone between Louisville's and Lafayette's industrial parks. He felt the property owners had been "screwed" by the IGA and that they ought to be compensated. Larry Johnson, 1675 Broadway, #2100, Denver, Colorado, attorney representing Boulder County Land Venture, owner of Parcell, was there to object to this plan. He felt the respective City Councils were giving up some of their authority to control their own fate and jurisdiction. He felt that the only fair, proper, and constitutional way to deal with this whole thing was to purchase the development rights or to purchase the land outright and to fairly compensate the land owners. V. Joan Lynch, 620 Pasatiempo Drive, San Luis Obispo, California 93405, one of the heirs of the Callahan property, Parcel 12, requested that the line dividing their land be removed as it was made to convey any idea, not a reality.

They also requested a letter of assurance from all parties that there is no conflict inherent, intended, or implied between or among the Boulder County Land Use Code, the Lafayette/Boulder IGA, and the Lafayette/Louisville Buffer Comprehensive Plan, which would prevent the successful designation of some portion of their property as a TDR/PUD. They believe it would finally be in the best interest of all parties if their parcel would be eliminated entirely from the Lafayette/Louisville Buffer IGA and that a letter of agreement be drawn up between the cities of Lafayette, Louisville, and the Callahan heirs agreeing to negotiate a buffer area, which would satisfy Louisville's express concern in this matter. John Mayhoffer, 10014 Empire Drive, Lafayette, Colorado, stated that he would be limited as to what he could do with his property. He pointed out that in 1905 his grandfather Dave Kerr provided the road that goes out of Pine Street east. It was a 10' wide wagon road and he provided 20' more so the miners could get down to the old V olcan Mine to work. In 1965 he cooperated with the City of Louisville and their sanitation district in establishing their sewer plant where it is now located. They also cooperated with the City of Louisville and their drainage ditch by settling on a price, with the City putting up a chain link fence, which had been cut three times and never repaired.
