He asked to read into the record a letter regarding the possible sale of the property on Via Appia and South Boulder Road by the Catholic Church. Dear Mr. Mayor and respective Councilwomen/men: The Cherrywood II Homeowners Association has been apprised of a proposed sale of the 15 acre tract known as Parcel "E" of the Centennial Valley PCZD. According to an announcement made to parishioners at St. Louis Catholic Church, and confirmed by the Louisville Times article of March 7, 1999. The article indicated that a sale is pending to an unknown entity for approximately $4,000,000. The Catholic Church purchased said parcel for a consideration of $495, 000 in 1993 with the understanding by the developer and surrounding homeowners that a Catholic Church and School would occupy the site. Each homeowner in the Cherrywood II Subdivision purchased their home with the express understanding that the 15 acres adjacent to the subdivision would be occupied by a Catholic Church, school, and related improvements. Moreover, the Catholic Church for several years has maintained a large sign expressing its intent to construct its new facilities on the subject 15-acre parcel. The homeowners of Cherrywood H Subdivision believe that they and others have been mislead by the written public expressions and signage of the St. Louis Catholic Church. We therefore, call on the City of Louisville to strictly enforce the contractual agreements, which are found in the Centennial Valley General Development Plan as it relates to this parcel of land. Our understanding is that "Amendment Five" to the Development Agreement is restrictive of the usage which may be put on this parcel and that no retail usage of any kind is permitted, to include, but not limited to, retail trade or service businesses, motels and hotels, restaurants, automobile service stations, office and research and development uses.
