City Council Meeting Minutes August 4, 2020 Page 11 of 12 Rebekah Cavanagh, 527 Hoptree Court, stated she is a resident and Medtronic employee and she loves the Medtronic community and feels this is a great place for their campus to share the Louisville community with the world. She encouraged a yes vote. John Cartwright, 120 West Pine Street, stated this is just too big and he has concerns about the financial conclusions. We need something that is a better fit. Richard Morgan, 644 West Pine Street, stated he supports the project to help bring age diversity and housing options for new families. He noted we are losing retailers to neighbors. This development brings new streets, retailers, and opportunities and is a benefit for the community. Maxine Most, 640 West Linden Street, asked the Council to disregard the emails from nonresidents. She feels many developments end up costing the residents. This will negatively impact the community. Stephanie Rowe, 631 West Street, stated this development needs to be rethought for environmental sustainability and to be less car centric. She would like to see a larger open space dedication. She stated it is too big and too much of an impact. It should adhere to the existing Comp Plan. John Milanski, 450 Fillmore Court, stated he is a member of the Fire District Board and the District has no official position on this. The new fire station in the proposal would be paid for by the development. Michelle Clifford, 1116 West Enclave Circle, stated her support for the project saying it would open up this space for people to use and create more park space. We need the infrastructure and people to support retail. It would be an improvement to the town. Denise Baek, 365 Jackson Circle, stated she is a Medtronic employee and supports the proposal. She stated the development and Medtronic employees would benefit the community and local businesses; it could also bring more diversity to the community. Alex Commins Wilson, 1612 Jefferson Avenue, stated he does not support this proposal; it is not a good fit for the community. Bob Muckle, 1101 Lincoln Avenue, stated there is a lot to like about this plan including Medtronic, but this proposal is too big of an impact and not a good fit. He suggests a large scale Comp Plan review and a new proposal. Natasha Flyer, 1640 Egret Way, Superior, stated she opposes the project for the huge impact it will have on the area including the traffic. It will generate much more traffic on 88th Street and will be urban sprawl.
