A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 4-0. • The next item was the Colorado Department of Highways presentation and public meeting regarding the I-70 West Corridor Study. Larry Pearson of the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments (NWCCOG) briefly stated what the purpose of the presentation and public meeting was and introduced Marilyn Ragusa and Larry Metternick of the Department of Highways. Marilyn gave a slide presentation showing what the Committee was trying to do and stated facts. She then asked for public input, and handouts were passed out to the public to turn in later if anyone thought of something after the meeting was over. Ron Phillips stated the Council's position on hazardous materials and requested the Committee to study and address hazardous waste more strongly and to please make it an issue of the report. Gunther Hoffler asked questions about pollution and air quality of more traffic, to which Marilyn responded. Larry Pearson said they would take a look at it. A citizen asked about entrance/exit ramps in town, the use of traffic circles, and how would signalization work. Hermann Staufer and Larry Pearson responded. Marilyn made comments on what the Committee was addressing, and that this was a local issue. Pat Dodson asked about bike paths, and Peter Patten asked if there was any consideration of landscaping and revegetation of the scars from the corridor construction in the scope of the study. Marilyn and Larry Pearson discussed the items. Dick Duran asked about limiting speed of trucks, and Larry Metternick responded. Pat Dodson asked about pedestrian crossings and if any thought had been given to them. Larry Metternick said that was a local level item, not one for this three county study. Larry Pearson stated he did not want to raise anyone's expectations as to what the Committee could actually study or add to the report because Federal money for funding these things had been greatly reduced. Hermann Staufer then thanked them for their report and taking notes of concerns by the public. The third item was the Total Beauty Centre sign variance request, which had been tabled by request of the applicant. Citizen Participation was next. Gunther Hoffler expressed his concern over the two lots for sale at the Raspberry House and that a single family home could possibly become a two family home. Larry Eskwith explained it would be a long process for that to happen. There was no Town Manager's Report. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m. ATTEST: �ame a . randmeyer, Town erk Minutes taken by Brenda Chesman 0 Respectfully submitted, Paul—R"oMayvr -2-
