Louisville City Council Meeting December 4, 2001 Page 8 2001. The concerns were based upon the numerous overhead doors facing both north and west toward their property. Koelbel provided five recommended design modifications. Based on those recommendations the applicant significantly reduced the request to limit it to a 3,700 SF oil change facility. The Planning Commission added a condition that required the oil change facility to keep its overhead doors closed during the servicing of vehicles. Wood addressed the public use dedication fee of 12 percent, which has not been met. The Zurick Annexation Agreement gives the property owner the fight to make a cash-in- lieu of land dedication. Section 16.06.060 of the Louisville Municipal Code (LMC) requires that a subdivider comply with a public use dedication requirement of 12 percent dedication for non-residential development. The property owner filed a letter with ten attachments supporting the applicant's position, which is that the 12% cash payment should be based on the value of the property at the time of the 1980 annexation, $63,000, for a $7,560 cash-in-lieu payment. It is the opinion of the City Attorney, that the valuation should be based on current appraised market valuation, $1,433,000, for a $171,600 cash-in-lieu payment. The applicant, Pedersen Development Company is seeking to 'reach a compromise offer at 25% of the 12% figure, or a payment of $ 42,900.
