Louisville City Council Meeting June 15, 2004 Page 8 of 10 Mayor Sisk stressed that annexations to the City of Louisville are taken on a case-by-case basis. He assured Mr. Hoyle the City will comply with the Court order. He asked Mr. Hoyle if it was his desire to have an Industrial zoning. Mr. Hoyle and Mr. Lopez confirmed their desire to have the property zoned Industrial and Commercial. Mayor Sisk reported the public hearing would be conducted on July 20th due to a public notice requirement. He asked City Attorney Light to address that issue. City Attorney Light reviewed the requirement of the state statute with respect to the annexation of an enclave requires notice once a week for four weeks; therefore, the hearing could not be conducted until July 20, 2004. Mayor Sisk assured Mr. Hoyle and Mr. Lopez the zoning would be designated within the 90-day period. Council member Brown reviewed the City's recent history with the Hoyle property and explained its involvement with the Northwest Parkway Intergovernmental Agreement put sanctions on the development of the property. He stated that, had the City annexed the property, it would have been in violation of an Intergovernmental Agreement. He stressed the City has not delayed the process, but been encumbered with the restrictions of an IGA, and he voiced his resentment with statements that stated otherwise. Mr. Hoyle explained his family had worked with the IGA participants to obtain their agreement to the annexation of the property. City Manager Bill Simmons asked City Attorney Light for the timeline with respect to the Hoyle annexation and zoning. Light reviewed the State Statute pertaining to the annexation of an enclave. He also reviewed the ruling and order of District Court Judge Glowinsky with respect to the Virginia & Ira Hoyle Trust lawsuit. MOTION: Mayor Sisk moved to publish Ordinance No. 1452, Series 2004 and public hearing be set for July 20, 2004, seconded by Council member Keany. All in favor. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT City Attorney Light requested Council direction on a zoning ordinance for the Hoyle property, and for authorization to work with Staff on the zoning for the property.
