Given this information – what is the Planning Commission being ask to do tonight? The applicant has provided a number of proposal alternative alignments for discussion purposes. The application before the Commission is not a new application, therefore the applicant is clearly not proposing any alternatives for your consideration. With other proposals to respond to the Commission may review the material and provide on record their general preferences as to whether such alternative alignments may or may not meet the desired planning goals for the City of Louisville. More specifically such goals would be related to the SRU criteria. The Commission may restate its intent on the original finds and you may also make further finds, conclusions and recommendations.
