City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />February 18, 2020 <br />Page 9 of 18 <br />developers would not use this tool if there were good alternatives and added Council will <br />have many chances to control this process. He asked Council not to hold this up. <br />Jerome McQuie, 972 St Andrews Lane, stated his concerns are approving the metro <br />district prior to the GDP. He feels Council should wait until they have final information. He <br />stated some items give him pause including the cost of infrastructure; issuing bonds for <br />such a long period; and not knowing specifics about what those bonds are for. He stated <br />that just because this is legal does not make it the right thing to do. <br />Tom DeLorey, 587 Augusta Lane, stated his concern that the language in the plan allows <br />the boundary to be adjusted at a later date with the City Council's approval. He is <br />concerned neighborhoods could be added at a later date without resident approval. <br />Debra Baskett, 730 West Willow Street, stated she has 30 years as a transportation <br />planner and has a large interest in this. She stated she supports the service plans; the <br />project will support the community and the Council has sufficient guardrails to guide this <br />and make sure the community is protected in the process. <br />Brian Topping, 1550 White Violet Way, stated the proper guardrails are in place and it <br />would be better to avoid a situation where the development doesn't happen at all. The <br />project is important to Louisville and to real estate values. The protections in place are <br />enough and he supports it. <br />James Driessen, Medtronic, stated Colorado is a part of Medtronic's vision to advance <br />their growth and improve operational efficiency. He stated they want to increase their <br />campus in Louisville and increase their ability to attract and retain employees in this area. <br />He recognizes this is an important project to the community. <br />Isaac Sendros, Avista Hospital CEO, stated ease of access to the hospital is key. Avista's <br />two entrances are restricted; connecting Campus Drive to Tape Drive would be a benefit <br />to the community, patients, and employees. He added the potential for senior living on the <br />site is necessary to meet the needs of the community. Avista supports the project. <br />Deb Armstrong, 541 North Manorwood Lane, supports this project. She stated getting in <br />and out of the high school is a nightmare and this metro district is key to improving that <br />access and is a benefit to the community. This will give people another reason to live here <br />and will be a boost to the community. <br />Heather Martin, 120 South Warbler Court stated she supports the resolution and having <br />this Medtronic facility in the community will benefit economic vitality. There are many <br />problems getting into and out of Monarch High School so the infrastructure is needed. <br />Connecting Superior into Louisville would also be a perk for downtown Louisville. <br />Glenn Segrue, BVSD Planner, stated access on Campus to 88th is a bottleneck for both <br />Monarch schools and all users are affected by this. BVSD has devoted time and <br />
