Louisville City Council Meeting November 6, 2001 Page 7 Sisk stated that the Council has received representations through PUD's that there would be a balance in the signage along McCaslin Boulevard. Davidson stated that it appears that the business owners at this location have a special situation to consider, and that the design of the retail center makes it difficult for businesses to be successful there. He stated that it is not setting precedence, but rather a special situation that will assist the businesses in that area.

He stated that the City should help businesses succeed in whatever method possible and the signage would be helpful to the local businesses.
