Levihn wondered if they had contributed to South Boulder Road and McCaslin improvements. Morals stated that they had not. He stated that he had agreed with the Council, at that time, that if they give him commercial, he would share the cost, but not if it was residential. Sisk wanted names of people involved. Morris offered to get documents that were drawn up, but never signed, so never materialized. Sisk asked Ostrander if the rough drafts rose to the level of a contract between his client and the City of Louisville. Ostrander stated they had not. Sisk wondered if the 1986 Comp Plan was the Comp Plan that should be utilized by this Council. Ostrander stated "no," because that showed commercial for that area. Sisk wondered what had been planned between Kennedy and Washington under the other Council. Ostrander stated similar density as what is on Neodata, which is approximately three times more dense. Sisk stated that in terms of open space, they couldn't build on the ditches anyway, they would have to be right-of-ways. Morris offered to pipe the ditch and cover it, and allow Louisville to still have the land. Keany stated that, from comments he had received from citizens, nothing should be built on that property. He wondered if Morris would be willing to look at less density. Morris did not feel he could go with less density. Howard asked if handshake agreements between prior Councils obligated this Council. Susan Griffiths, City Attorney, stated that as far as she knew, there were no binding agreements between Mr. Morris and the City Council with respect to this property. Howard asked the City Attorney if this parcel met the requirements of the city and state to force annexation. Griffiths stated that as a single parcel, since there was 95% contiguity between this parcel and the boundaries of the city, the property owner could force annexation on the city, not a particular zoning.
