developers to get a little creative. How will this development benefit the economic structure and the infrastructure in Louisville? How is it going to benefit the schools? Why not build a shuttle service or a mass transit? How is it ecological? How does it affect the water? Steve Tracy, owner of part of the land, stated that he has made a potential contract with the developers. He has been here since 1972 and remembers the time when the need was there for Coal Creek School. He used to farm that ground (1,200 acres). When the houses came in the red foxes left, the pheasants left, the asparagus rows along irrigation ditches left, and the deer left. The open space theory has moved outside of the city limits.

All of a sudden Coal Creek Ranch had foundations full of water. Bellock was upset. Everyone wants to keep the open space, but they as the open space owners are getting pushed out of it just because of the liability. It's not compatible to have agricultural land zoning within a city like this. Those are just some of the reasons. Denise Brewer, 381 W. Sycamore Lane, Louisville, CO. Brewer: In my daughter's kindergarten class there are so many children that even the teacher and one adult helper isn't enough. Our schools are way out of control. Regina Macy, 845 W.
