City Council Meeting Minutes January 18, 2022 Page 6 of 8 Staff has found that over the years there have been some different applications of the zoning code causing confusion now. Staff will present the Council some options to address this at their February 15t" meeting. Public Comments Dan Bramlage 966 Arapahoe Circle, stated the right -of -entry form is complicated and states homeowners take liability. She asked for help with getting that language updated. Larry Donner, 1020 Willow Place, asked Council to consider exempting the fire victims from the 2021 IECC fire codes so people can afford to rebuild in Louisville. Nancy Davoust, 1003 Turnberry & 919 St Andrews Lane, also asked for the Council to give fire rebuilds exemptions from the Net Zero requirements. Russ Moore, 1013 Arapahoe Circle, stated fire victims are facing unprecedented building costs and uncertainty around the extra costs of the new building codes. He stated no one knows exactly what those additional costs are and it is impossible to plan without that information. He asked Council to allow those rebuilding from the fire be allowed to rebuild to the building code from before November of 2021. Those homes would still be significantly more energy efficient that the homes that burned. RJ Harrington, 457 East Raintree Court, asked that the City get firm numbers of what the costs are to build to the new code so people have clear information on what it might cost. Kindra Stockebrand, 824 Trail Ridge, asked for more information on the schedule for debris removal; more information on how the debris removal will affect landscaping materials; and more information on how permits will be prioritized if you opt out of the group debris removal. Kate McCoy, stated she is concerned about price gauging for rental properties. Paul Stockebrand, 824 Trail Ridge, stated he thought they had good insurance coverage but the additional costs of Net Zero increases costs and penalizes those who lost their homes to the fire. He asked Council to exempt fire rebuilds from the new code requirements.
