5/18/83 Page -22- E. The annexation of this property with this proposed zoning would violate the City's policy of maintaining the 1500' buffer along V.W. Highway 36. F. Since the zoning request accompanying this annexation was inconsistent with the City of Louisville's comprehensive plan, the proper procedure for the landowner to follow should have been to first request an amendment to the comprehensive plan. If such an amendment was granted, annexa- tion would then be an appropriate request. G. A referendum has been filed against Ordinance #746, thus said ordinance is not effective, making the findings in this ordinance a part of the original consideration of Ordinance #746. RECESS Mayor pro-tem Fauson called a recess at 9:15 P.M. so that councilmembers could review the amend- ment. Council meeting reconvened at 9:25 P.I1. Councilman Leary Councilman Cussen seconded the motion to amend Ordinance #794. Mayor pro-tem Fauson asked if there was any further discussion on the amendment. Commented he felt it was obvious that this matter is to go back to court that the find- ings of fact exist in the ordinance. He re- quested if anyone disagreed with these find- ings of fact he would like to know which ones were wrong. Stated he had some specific questions, then would comment. Referred to item F. of Council- man Leary's amendment - it was his understand- ing that when Mr. Biella came in approximately 10 months ago he asked the proper procedure and for 9 or 10 months, the staff or somebody had that delayed. If that was the proper procedure then the same people here are re- sponsible for not giving him that. Did not agree with Councilman Leary's findings of fact - was his opinion it was manipulation, everyone may not be in agreement but personally he could not vote for the amendments. Councilman Cummings Councilman Ferrera Inquired - if Mr. Biella's property is desig- nated open space what does the comp plan say we have to do with it?
