Davidson called for staff presentation on Ordinance No. 1330, Series 2000, Ordinance 1331, Series 2000, and Resolution No. 9, Series 2000, and opened the public hearing. Sam Light, City Attorney clarified that items G, H, and I, all pertain to the Bowes Annexation. Enclosed in the Council packet, is Item I., Resolution No. 10, Series 2000, finding that the property is eligible for annexation into the City, Item G., Ordinance No. 1330, Series 2000, is an Ordinance Approving the Annexation, first reading, and Item H., Ordinance No. 1331, Series 2000, the Zoning Ordinance, sets a public hearing. Light stated that in considering an annexation, it was appropriate to discuss land use issues and community issues. Some of the testimony and discussions will be considered at the formal public hearing on second reading of the Zoning Ordinance. Paul Wood, Planning Director, reviewed Ordinance No. 1330, Series 2000, which has been properly published. He stated that Mr. Jack Bowes is the applicant and is represented by Chuck Keim, of Charles Keim & Associates. The parcel is located at the southeast comer of Dillon Road and South 88th Street. Ordinance No 1330, Series 2000, if authorized, would annex approximately 77.87 acres to the City of Louisville. With the exception of a portion of the west property boundary, the subject parcel has full contiguity with properties annexed within the City of Louisville. Approximately 84 percent of the total perimeter is contiguous which exceeds the 1/6 criteria by state statutes. The contiguity is established on the north by Dillon Road, which was annexed to the City in August of 1996. Wood stated there were two annexations that annexed the full length of the property from Dillon Road to the intersection of 96th tO 88th Street. The contiguity on the west was established by the annexation of the Admore parcel, now currently owned by the City and County as open space. To the south there is full contiguity with the Louisville Campus, which annexed 80.77 acres in September of 1996. To the west there is a portion of land purchased by the City of Louisville for the realignment of 88th Street. Wood noted that the initial public hearing set for December 7, 1999 of Ordinance No. 1330, Series 2000, was vacated by City Council, at the request of the applicant. The public hearing was reset for February 1, 2000, and all notification and advertising requirements have been complied with for the annexation public hearing. The public hearing was reset to allow staff and the applicant additional time to complete the required annexation agreement. Staff and the City Attorney's Office have specifically reviewed Section 14 of the Bowes Annexation Agreement where the applicant is requesting to establish a minimum density as well as standards for infrastructure related issues. Wood stated that the applicant is seeking to establish a minimum density of 20 units (19 plus the homestead) within what is proposed to be zoned Restricted Rural Residential (R- RR). The zoning of the subject property is being considered by a subsequent ordinance. If authorized by City Council, the R-RR zoning would allow 16 units. It is the position of staff, that any density increase through the PUD process should be created through the quasi-judicial PUD process as required by the Municipal Code. An annexation agreement would need to be finalized prior to passage of any annexation ordinance on final reading. 13
