Mayor Fauson asked for Public Comments regarding <br />the proposed changes in the Comp Plan. <br />Bill Dhieux, Fire Marshall of the Louisville Fire <br />Protection District, stated that they are excited <br />about the proposed changes in the Comp Plan and <br />watching Louisville grow. The Fire District is <br />asking for Council's support to encourage those <br />people involved in annexation efforts to petition <br />to join the Louisville Fire Protection District <br />as their interest is to serve the City of <br />Louisville. <br />Ann Meredyth, 950 Spruce, spoke regarding the <br />property surrounding the U.S. 36 Interchange and <br />"a mutual understanding between the Town of <br />Superior and the City of Louisville." Meredyth <br />asked Council to consider what the long term <br />impacts would be should Louisville decide to <br />include and ultimately annex this piece of <br />property at the Interchange and this City's <br />relationship with its neighbors. <br />John Leary, 1116 LaFarge, spoke to the issue of <br />having to make a decision involving major tenants <br />of the Comp Plan with an "appalling lack of <br />information" stating that "the Planning Commission <br />has done you no favors." Extensive marketing <br />analysis wad not included in the presentation to <br />Council and adding more commercial land is not <br />going to increase the commercial demand whatsoever <br />in the City. Protection from urban sprawl, <br />keeping the 1500' buffer, the City's commitment to <br />Superior, signed agreement or not, setting the <br />precedent of going over to the southside of U.S. <br />36 were all concerns Leary expressed and asked <br />Council to weigh each issue separately. <br />Margaret Hornbostel, 655 W. Hawthorne, asked that <br />Council maintain the 1500' buffer and encouraged <br />Council to honor the verbal agreement with <br />Superior. Also, Hornbostel stated that the area <br />surrounding South Boulder Road and Highway 42 was <br />in a high subsidence area and would not be <br />beneficial to the City of Louisville. <br />Mayor Fauson stated that the City would support <br />the Louisville Fire Protection Agency. Mayor <br />Fauson also stated that there is not a written <br />document or resolution that the City entered into <br />with the Town of Superior. Future relations with <br />surrounding cities is very important to our City, <br />but we are in a competitive business and must <br />continue to plan for Louisville's future. Mayor <br />7 <br />
