staff have been incorporated into the project and the renderings have not yet been amended <br />to reflect this. He was then available to answer any questions. <br /> <br />Davidson called for Council comments and questions. <br /> <br />Sisk expressed support for the appearance of the facility. He explained that, however, he <br />was frustrated with the maneuvers of the US Postal Service. He asked Ballard how far along <br />they were with the building before it was presented to Council. <br /> <br />Ballard replied that it was approximately twenty to thirty-percent complete prior to any <br />direct contact with Paul Wood, Planning Director. <br /> <br />Sisk asked whether this was typical of the way the US Postal Service treats municipalities. <br /> <br />Ballard replied they did have superficial contact with the City. As well, they did contact the <br />Public Works Department on the more technical, utilitarian entities. He admitted that they <br />are in the process of trying to change their ways. He explained that, in the past, this is typical <br />of the way the US Postal Service treats municipalities. <br /> <br />Sisk stated that while he was in Washington, D.C. in May, he expressed his dismay to <br />Senator Ben Campbell about the way that the US Postal Service treated Louisville. He asked <br />Wood why the US Postal Service would be treated differently by the Commercial <br />Development Design Standards & Guidelines, specifically in regards to landscaping <br />requirements. He questioned whether Kohl's or Sam's Club would be required to provide <br />thirty-percent open space. <br /> <br />Wood replied, yes. He stated that he did share a copy of the Commercial Development <br />Design Standards & Guidelines with Mr. Ballard and also pointed out this deficiency to the <br />Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Sisk expressed concern that the lighting is almost three times the lighting that was allowed at <br />Sam's Club and Kohl's. <br /> <br />Wood replied that there has been a reduction in the overall lighting levels since they were <br />initially brought forward. He stated that the lighting levels on the east end aren't down to <br />zero, but they are less than .5. He explained that staff's concern is with the direct visual <br />contact of the lighting fixtures in the canopy. <br /> <br />Sisk asked whether the lighting levels on the east side would be comparable to the lighting <br />from Kohl's and Sam's Club. <br /> <br />Wood replied, no, it's higher. <br /> <br />Sisk asked whether the City has received any complaints from the neighbors along Dahlia <br />behind Kohl's and Sam's Club. <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br /> <br />
