Louisville City Council Meeting <br />May 2, 2000 <br />Page 14 <br /> <br />Mayer asked Wood for clarification of the parking issue raised by the Planning <br />Commission. <br /> <br />Wood stated that the reduced parking was a friendly amendment during the motion <br />process of the Planning Commission Resolution. Wood noted that the amendment was <br />not Staff initiated. <br /> <br />Mayer asked Wood about the request for additional landscaping which would slightly <br />reduce the parking. <br /> <br />Wood stated that the request made was for the addition of that two ornamental trees to be <br />in compliance with the special entry requirements of the overall PUD and for both sides <br />of the entry to be landscaped in a symmetrical fashion. <br /> <br />Armstrong stated that they have agreed to the addition of two ornamental trees. <br /> <br />Mayer commented that he did not have a problem with dropping the Planning <br />Commission condition to reduce parking. <br /> <br />Levihn stated that he was pleased with the development, and that the applicant has met <br />and complied with all the standards. <br /> <br />Sisk stated that with regard to parking ratios, he generally is in favor of more restrictive <br />parking, however, he acknowledged that the applicant has proved the validity of the <br />parking needs. Sisk voiced his concern of the visual impact from Highway 36. He <br />suggested that the issue could be addressed by landscaping the southern portion of the <br />property to mitigate any view of asphalt. He felt that the addition of trees and landscaping <br />would help the overall appeal of the project. <br /> <br />Armstrong noted that the proposed setback is to 40', when only 35' is required. He stated <br />that more trees and landscaping could be added along the southern property line and that <br />any additional landscaping, at the expense of parking spaces, would not be an issue. <br /> <br />Ellermann stated that they have planned for no more than 9 cars in a row. He suggested <br />that they could add, there will be no more than 9 cars in a row along the perimeter. <br />Additionally, they could add to the number of trees along the perimeter of the south and <br />southwest property line. <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br /> <br />
