Wanda L. Rice, 1524 Kennedy Avenue, Louisville, Colorado, had attended the February Planning Commission and was concerned about the zoning of the parcel west of McCaslin Boulevard, since it is the key to the view corridor to the west from Davidson Mesa. She requested that that parcel be considered separately for open space. She reminded Council that approximately five acres of the parcel presented for SF-R is held in the living estate of Clara Clynke. Davidson called for anyone else wishing to speak on Ordinance No. 1165. NONE Davidson closed the public hearing and called for Council questions. Howard asked about the traffic concerns. Tom Phare, Public Works Director, stated that specific traffic issues had not yet been looked at. Mayer wondered who would be responsible for 80th Street maintenance in that area. He wanted Council to go with the RR-R zoning west of McCaslin, which is what the Comprehensive Plan said. Lathrop pointed out that, since this is in a life estate, it will not come into fruition tomorrow. Overall he was in favor of this, so long as there was a restriction of no more than two dwelling units and only single story on the west side of McCaslin. All other issues would be addressed in the PUD consideration. Davidson felt the practical zoning would be AO-T, which would have the least traffic impact. He pointed out that 80th Street is in the County and they would be responsible for maintaining it. He asked if the limitation to single-family ranch style houses for the two homes west of McCaslin was only written into the annexation agreement. Susan Griffiths, City Attorney, stated that the agreement would be recorded with that limit, but there would be nothing to preclude the Council from putting it in the annexation and/or zoning ordinance. Davidson asked Morris if he minded, on the two lots west of McCaslin, having the restrictive covenant on the Deed limiting it to single story homes. Morris agreed, as long as they agree on a size, single story, and some parameters. He did not feel there would be a traffic circulation problem with any of the development. He was willing to make the covenants acceptable to everyone. He stated that Ms. Clynke would reside on the property as long as she desires. Their plan is not develop the property in the area of her life estate. They plan to run water lines in and develop some of the sites to the north end of it. The plan to drill under McCaslin to feed the utilities through from the east end. 8
