By Roll Call Vote, <br />Ordinance #899 was approved unanimously. <br />RECESS At 9:45 p.m., Mayor Fauson called a 10 minutes <br />recess. <br />ORDINANCE #900 - METZ REZONING REQUEST <br />PUBLIC HEARING Rautenstraus read by title only Ordinance #900, <br />"An Ordinance amending Title 17 of the Louisville <br />Municipal Code of the City of Louisville entitled <br />"Zoning" by rezoning a parcel of property located <br />within the City of Louisville south of Pine Street <br />adjacent to Saratoga Subdivision owned by W.H.P. <br />Limited." Proper publication and notice of public <br />hearing were established. <br />Mayor Fauson opened the public hearing. <br />Wanush outlined the requested stating that WHP <br />Ltd. is the owner of a 2 acre parcel annexed in <br />1982 and currently zoned RE. The property is <br />located south of Pine Street, west of the Corrigan <br />Subdivision and north of the Saratoga I <br />Subdivision. Without a PUD, through subdivision <br />the maximum allowable units would be seven under <br />the existing zoning. They have requested zoning <br />of the property from RE to RL. The maximum <br />allowable number of units under the RL zoning <br />would be 12. At the May 13th Planning Commission <br />public hearing, staff had recommended approval <br />with three Conditions. However, Planning <br />Commission denied the rezoning request. <br />Jon Prouty representing this request spoke to <br />Council stating that the parcel is extremely <br />difficult to develop due to size and access and <br />asked that Council allow the RL request to allow <br />it to be an economically feasible development. <br />Jim Hack, 165 W. Elm, spoke stating that he and <br />his neighbors adjacent to the property do not <br />object to the development of this parcel but do <br />object to asking for rezoning without disclosing <br />any specifics as to how the parcel will be <br />developed, i.e., access, character of the land, <br />lot size, type of dwellings, etc. Hack sees no <br />compelling reason to rezone the property and feels <br />this parcel should go through a PUD process at its <br />current zoning. <br />11 <br />
