Louisville City Council Meeting July 3, 2001 Page 4 Sisk noted that the Planning Commission has continued the Maurer property zoning until July 10, 2001 and has not made recommendation to Council. Davison stated that the ordinances for Maurer Annexation and Zoning are the first readings. City Attorney reviewed the procedural options available to Council on Resolution No. 30, Ordinances 1362 and 1363, Series 2001. He noted that a public hearing has been advertised for July 3, 2001 for the annexation and zoning of the property and the Planning Commission has not made recommendation on the zoning of the property. He stated that one option would be to proceed with the annexation and zoning hearing, or wait until the Planning Commission forwards a recommendation on the zoning. He stated that another option would be to open the annexation public hearing and include that hearing or open the annexation and zoning public hearing and continue the hearings until another meeting. Light stated that under the annexation statute, one hour of testimony is required before continuing the annexation. If the issues relate only to the zoning, there is an option of withholding the annexation until the zoning has been established.

Wood stated that there is approximately a 12 to 15% slope across the property falling from the southeast to the northwest. Wood stated that the applicant has requested as a condition of annexation, the City convey an access easement across Outlot E (City outlot) to provide access to the subject property from St. Andrews Lane. The access is requested, as the City does not support access to the parcel directly from Dillon Road. Wood stated that the proposed location of
