Louisville City Council Meeting April 1, 2003 Page 12 of 22 Brown asked Staff to look at the documents submitted and if changes are necessary, those changes be presented to the Council for their review. Keany stated if an application comes forward that the Staff does not support, it can still move forward to the Planning Commission, and if the Planning Commission denies the application, the City Council can then make a policy decision. Sisk asked Planning Director Wood, if StorageTek wanted to make an application on their entire parcel, would they have to request the City annex the 80-acres. Wood confirmed they would have to annex if they wanted entitlements from the City. There was considerable Council discussion relative to the South Sub-Area Plan: Sisk stated that Staff did not need Council direction to accept development proposal. Levihn stated that in fairness to StorageTek, the City must set some specifics so they will have some direction. Brown suggested Council move away from the South Sub-Area Committee and follow the City's procedures and processes. Keany asked if the South Sub-Area Committee is still meeting. Wood stated no future meetings have been set. Sisk suggested the South Sub-Area Committee could still be a participant, but not make any policy decisions. He was not in favor of disbanding the group. With respect to the South Sub-Area, there was Council consensus the City procedures and processes should be followed. LOUISVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY POLL Assistant City Manager for Governmental Relations Heather Balser reported on a Council study session, where there was discussion concerning a survey to determine community support for a November ballot question to construct a new library. She stated Staff has made initial contacts with National Research Center (NRC) to complete such a survey. The survey would be given to 400 residents by telephone. Depending on the length of the survey (10-15 minutes) it would cost $13,776 or $15,618. The survey questions will be made available to the City Council and the Library Board of Trustees for comment prior to the start of the survey. She noted the NRC has done similar polls for a number of other municipalities. Simmons stated that the questions would be reviewed at a future work session. He noted some of the same numbers used in the last election will be used, such as the mil levy, the bond issue and land acquisition. Sisk called for public comments. There were none.
