RESOLUTION NO. 16, SERIES 2003 - A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE POLICE SITE AND RECREATION PARK CONCEPT PLAN Davidson called for Staff presentation. Recreation/Senior Services Director Keith Williams reported on the concept plan for the 14-acre site located on the comer of McCaslin and Via Appia. One of the purposes for the plan was to discover what amenities could fit together on this available city property. Input was received from the public, City Council, and Staff. The concept plan is a preliminary long-range plan, which demonstrates the intent of the City Council to provide adequate space for specific designated amenities. He noted it should be recognized as a site plan that can be changed, modified and revamped as future design phases occur on the site. The concept plan included the following: the existing recreation center w/proposed expansion; the existing tennis courts (4 courts); the existing arboretum; the planned police station; the existing inline hockey rink; the proposed skate park; the proposed community pool; the proposed tennis courts (4 courts); the proposed basketball court; the proposed playground (w/shelter) and the proposed multi-purpose field. He stated the Louisville Aquatics Foundation has reviewed the concept plan and are collecting donations for future aquatic facilities. Sisk asked if the Planning Commission had reviewed the plan. Williams replied no. Sisk asked Planning Director Wood what process would be followed to implement the amenities. Wood stated the process would through Special Review Use. Sisk questioned whether precedence is being set for the concept plan and if the public process and the Planning Commission are being bypassed Keany asked if there was a PUD process for the inline skating rink or the lighting at the tennis courts. Wood stated the inline skating rink was considered a relocation of an existing rink facility and the tennis court lighting did not have a PUD process. Davidson stated the City is proceeding as the owner of the property. He voiced his commitment to the public process, however, noted there is no assurance on the final development of the property. Sisk asked if the plans are merely a concept.
