Fauson commended the Planning Commission for their <br />good work and efforts on this issue. <br />Mayor Fauson stated that the four major proposed <br />amendments to the Comp Plan would be voted upon <br />separately. <br />Amendment #1 - Anderson commented that it is important to work <br />with other communities, most importantly Superior. <br />However, Superior has chosen not to take any <br />action on this specific portion of land. Anderson <br />feels that Louisville has the foresight to be <br />proactive and this area presents an opportunity to <br />protect Louisville's destiny. <br />Sackett stated that Superior would not be able to <br />offer in a timely manner utilities to those people <br />wanting to develop that area surrounding the <br />Interchange. Sackett feels that it is important <br />that we remain in good relations with•Superior and <br />that it is too bad that Superior can't offer the <br />utilities to those people, however, in the absence <br />of Superior's inability, Louisville should be <br />willing to try to accommodate them since it will <br />ultimately be in this City's best interest. <br />Mohr stated that the Interchange is "too valuable <br />a piece of land to leave alone.

"We are not <br />taking a wait and see posture but we are wisely <br />protecting our economic future with potentially <br />viable land for retail development. I believe <br />what we are trying to do here tonight is to <br />protect Louisville and do what is in Louisville's <br />best interest." <br />Szymanski stated that the long term effect of <br />crossing U.S. 36 in the City's Comp Plan is <br />"strictly 1~0$ positive for Louisville."
