Mayor Sisk and Mayor Pro Tem Brown voiced their support of the project and noted Balfour has been a welcome addition to the City. There was Council consensus. MOTION: Council member Muckle moved to approve Resolution No. 26, Series 2006, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Brown. Roll call vote was taken. The motion carried by a vote of 7-0. RESOLUTION No. 27, SERIES 2006 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING REVISION TO THE HIGHWAY 42 REVITALIZATION AREA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Mayor Sisk requested a Staff presentation. Planning Director Paul Wood explained the scope of the Highway 42 Revitalization Comprehensive Plan Amendment is limited to the plans, policies and text associated with vehicle and pedestrian circulation plans and conceptual street layouts. The Plan also includes a Framework Plan Map, which is a concept plan depicting one possible alternative for how the area might develop. That Framework Plan provides a fairly high level of detail in site planning in order to communicate the urban design intent for the area. A property owner within the Highway 42, area has expressed his concern over the impact on his property from a potential future local street alignment. In response to those concerns, Staff introduced a concept for amending the Highway 42 Revitalization Area street configuration in a manner that would address the concern of the property owner, while preserving the fundamental policy and planning recommendations of the plan. The concern relates to the location of a proposed street (Caledonia Street extension) access portions of property owned by the Deborski Family. The property is currently developed with a self-storage facility and a food processing facility for the Old Style Sausage Company. Staff prepared a potential revised Highway 42 Revitalization Area Pedestrian and Vehicular Access Plan, which eliminates the direct property impact to the Deborski property. The Louisville Revitalization Commission (LRC) reviewed this potential Comp Plan Amendment and recommended the proposal move forward for further consideration as a formal Comp Plan Amendment. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 11, 2006 and adopted a motion recommending support of the Highway 42 Comp Plan Amendment.
