Councilor Sackett requested a financial analysis on the benefit to the City. Mr. Ramsey stated he was not required to present a financial analysis. It was confirmed by staff that minor subdivision replats do not require a financial analysis. In closing, Mr. Ramsey responded to comments and summarized his proposal. He met with the City Forester relative to the trees and the tree which was removed, was questionable. He stated the house across the street has been under construction for a lengthy period and the neighbors are tired of the construction process. He noted his style is to construct homes in a timely fashion. He addressed the Planning Commission decision on both votes, and stated he could not go forward with i:he project, if the proposal was returned to the Planning Commission. He did not agree with the comments that he alienated the neighborhood. He felt his proposal suits Old Town Louisville.
