Louisville City Council Meeting April 4, 2000 Page 16. ~ Davidson asked O'Connor if he intended to lease or sell the building in question. O'Connor stated that he intends to lease the property. Davidson asked if the school is willing to assume financial responsibility for installing traffic lights and drop off zones if required. O'Connor stated that the school is willing to do what ever it takes. He noted that the charter school use would not be as large as a high school. Mayer stated that Mr. O'Connor has stated that the State would ultimately make the final decision relative to the school and therefore, the only requirements would be those of the State. Mayor voiced his concern that the State may not require a traffic light on a local road. O'Connor asked if Council was requiring him to install a street light if a school was contemplated on the site. Davidson stated that the property has been reviewed as a light industrial use rather than a charter school and the impact of the school may warrant a traffic light. Davidson stated that the PUD application did not bring forward the intended use of the building. O'Connor stated that he is asking for approval on a PUD for three buildings and has not applied for a building permit for any use within the PUD. He noted that at this time, they do not know what the use would be. Davidson stated that any applicant who comes forward with a PUD request stipulates an intended use. He noted that one of the intended uses in this PUD application is a school. He was concerned that the criterion of the PUD does not provide for a school. O.'Connor stated that he would apply for a Special Review Use for a school. A Special Review Use would state conditions that would require compliance. Attorney Light stated that the school is not a part of the PUD proposal. He noted that the general rules apply that a school would require a Special Review Use and any site plan adjustments or PUD amendments would be addressed at the time of the Special Review Use. He noted that a use application for a school could be run concurrently with the PUD. Light stated that if a school use is intended for the site, the applicant can carry forward the Special Review Use and a PUD amendment to address both use and site plan issues. Keany stated that Council is looking at the application as an industrial use and if the school issue was reviewed those questions could be addressed. 16
