Summarized the annexation policy, stating that Council is not annexing any land beyond 10 acres, with 2 units on thew, at this time: unless there is a compelling benefit to the City. This proposal certainly does not meet the first criteria and before Council would refer it to the Planning Commission would be whstlisr they feel there is enough compelling benefit to place it in the pro- cess. Mr. Ochsner reiterated one of the major compelling benefits would be the land given to the city to expand the Louisville Reservoir. Councilman Luce Commented in his recollection of the topo- Home Sites graphy of the area is that all of the potential houses, under discussion, is after that area that begins to drop off at the mesa? Mr. Ochsner stated if he understood Council- man Luce's question - it would be below the area where it drops off - no, it would be up above and staging into the area before it drops off. Mr. Haas stated it was basi- cally flat on the top so that the Reservoir could be expanded, and the land behind Continental View would be additional land that would be given to the City, so that you could have the green-belt, park, tennis courts - whatever the City wanted. Then as you go to that ridge then there would be houses on both sides - on the left side they would all be ranch style and would average $250,000 - $300,000. On the other side we would place them so that nobody's view would be obstructed. Councilman Luce stated his concern was that the City had drawn a line in terms of where it is willing to provide services up as far as the plateau of the mesa and when it begins to drop off, then from our prospective that's not desirable to provide services beyond that.
