<br />Motion made by Bill McDermott to enter the above into the record. Seconded by Chris <br />Pritchard. All members were in favor. <br /> <br />Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that the recommendation from Staff at this point is to <br />recommend a continuance to the next regular meeting on June 13, 2000, at 6:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Applicant Summary: <br /> <br />Michael Diehl asked to have all of the questions asked at this meeting in writing to the City. The <br />answers will be posted on the city website. PSCO is concerned about the citizens that they serve <br />and will discuss options to build the line. Mr. Diehl will accept phone calls directly and will <br />respond in writing. <br /> <br />Public Hearing Closed Commission Comments: <br /> <br />Commissioner McDermott would like to find out what the Planning Commission can do and then <br />how it will be accomplished financially. He would like to see how other communities have <br />handled these situations and what we can learn from them. <br /> <br />Commissioner Leh does not think there are many people in Louisville who would disagree that <br />under grounding would be the preferable way to go, if there is an equitable and appropriate way <br />to do that. Mr. Leh is interested in hearing how the cost will be allocated. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lipton thanked Public Service Company representatives for the work they have <br />done. This is an issue of public planning that may have been ignored over time and it is only when <br />Public Service wants to expand the service, expand the poles and provide additional capacity does <br />it become an issue to the point of where it comes to the Planning Commission and City Council. <br />Mr. Lipton feels that the community needs to honor its obligations to Public Service and its <br />property rights that it has established. On the other hand the community does not need to go <br />further than that and Public Service will have to find other ways to provide the service where to <br />find ways of maintaining the service where it is through means that are now acceptable to the <br />current community standard. If the city wants to make an improvement to either relocate or bury <br />the lines that are either established today or through a high level of service that Public Service is <br />proposing, the community will have to contribute to that financially. Mr. Lipton does not blame <br />Public Service, he feels that it is the community doing what it has done in the past very well, but <br />ignoring a situation that probably not have been ignored if planned for in the future. <br /> <br />Mr. Lipton has formed his opinion already and right now given the standard of the community and <br />the community expectations that the current power lines don’t look very good, any kind of <br />upgrade or extension of them is not going to look any better, it will probably look worse. He has <br />prepared a motion to deny the request. He would like to act on the motion tonight. <br /> <br />Mr. Lipton read the motion he had prepared. “This is a motion to deny the Special Review Use <br /> <br /> 7 <br /> <br />
