EVERY NEW AREA WANTS A PUBLIC NOW SO NO. UM, THE. A GROCERY STORE IS GOING IN THERE. IT HAS NOT BEEN, UM, RELEASED WHAT GROCERY STORES GOING IN THERE?

[2. O-294-23     AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO THE ZONING OF PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 8816 WEST MANSLICK ROAD AND PARCEL ID NOS. 104905540000 AND 10490070000 CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY 11.28 ACRES AND BEING IN LOUISVILLE METRO (CASE NO. 23ZONE0094). Action Required By:  March 7, 2024   Sponsors: Madonna Flood (D-24) ]

WE'RE READY FOR DISCUSSION. HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR THIS ONE AS WELL. THANK YOU. THIS IS 23 ZONE. 0094 REGENCY PARK, TOO. THIS IS LOCATED ON WESTMINSTER ROAD DISTRICT, 25. EXISTING PARCELS CURRENTLY VACANT. THE PROPOSALS FOR RESIDENTIAL. YOU CAN SEE IT SOUND ARE FOUR.

THERE'S SOME C ONE IN THE AREA AS WELL AS OUR FIVE THE CHANGE IN ZONING IS FOR THE REQUEST FOR CHANGING WAS FOR CHANGING ZONING FROM OUR FOUR SINGLE FAMILY. RESIDENTIAL TO R FIVE. A MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL WITH A DETAILED DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT PLAN. AS I MENTIONED THAT THE SCIENTISTS CURRENTLY VACANT, IT WAS PROVED LEASE LEE USED AS A MOBILE HOME PARK. THE PROPOSAL IS NOW FOR 95 UNIT DETACHED, MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. I SAID THIS IS THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN WITH ACCESS SOUTH OF WEST MAINS LICK ROAD. THIS IS, UH, RENDERING OF THE SITE. YOU COULD SEE THAT ENTRANCE A LITTLE BIT BETTER. THERE'S A CLUBHOUSE POOL AMENITY FOR THE SITE AS WELL AS A PARK. SO HERE'S SOME EXAMPLES OF THE HOMES THAT WOULD BE BUILT ON THE SITE. AND THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY CURRENTLY PUT. THIS IS IF YOU OFF WEST MAN SLICK. THIS IS AN INTERIOR ROAD.

UM TAKING KIND OF SEE WHAT USED TO BE THERE? THE. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING WAS HELD ON JUNE 7TH 2023. THE LAND DEVELOPMENT TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING WAS HELD ON NOVEMBER 9TH 2023, THE PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING. ON DECEMBER 7TH 2023, AND THERE WAS A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE CHANGES OWNING FROM THAT'S NOT RIGHT. THAT'S NOT RIGHT. I WANT TO REPEAT THAT CORRECTLY ARE FORWARD TO OUR FIVE A UH, AND THAT WAS EMOTION THAT WAS PASSED BY VOTE OF FIVE TO WITH ONE ABSTENTION. YES THERE WAS ONE PERCEPTION THAT'S THE CORRECT VOTE. JUST NOT THE CORRECT SOMETHING. COUNCILMAN BET, SEAN. YES, THANK YOU, UM CAN YOU EXPLAIN? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THE CORRECT AND NOT CORRECT ZONING? DID YOU BUY THE ZONING IS OUR FOUR TO OUR FIVE A CORRECT THE VOTE WAS THE SAME. THE VOTE HERE, THE 50 TO 1. SO THERE WAS FIVE YES VOTES, NO. ZERO NO VOTES, AND THEN ONE ABSTENTION. DO WE HAVE COMMENT ON THE ABSTENTION? I CAN LOOK IN THE FILE.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING IN THE MINUTES THAT WOULD INDICATE WHY, UH, IT WAS COMMISSIONER PATTY CLAIRE. I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT PERSON. UP STAINED. ANOTHER WAS A CASE RECENTLY. COMMISSIONER CLAIRE ABSTAINED. BECAUSE OF POTENTIAL CONFLICT WHERE SHE HAD WORKED WITH OR FOR THE DEVELOPER OR SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW. THIS IS THE CASE OR NOT. I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS THIS ONE. UM, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. UM. FIRST WE'LL START OFF EMPHASIZING I THINK WE NEED MORE

[00:15:08]

SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WE HAVE HERE IN FRONT OF US AND A MOBILE HOME PARK? SO WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED OR NOT MOBILE HOMES. UM I BELIEVE THEY MAY BE ALONG THE LINES OF A FACTORY BUILT HOME. BUT NOT A MOBILE GAME. AND THEN WILL THEY FROM THE RENDERING SAYS INTERESTING CLUBHOUSE AMENITIES. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOME GARAGES ATTACHED. IS THAT CORRECT? I BELIEVE THERE'S AN OPTION FOR GARAGE. MOST OF THE BUILDINGS THAT ARE SHOWN IN THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN SHOW A GARAGE. BUT I BELIEVE THERE WAS TESTIMONY INDICATING THAT THOSE WERE GOING TO BE AN OPTION. OKAY, UM. DO WE HAVE THE PROPER AMOUNT OF GREEN SPACE THAT WE NEED FOR DEVELOPMENT? I GUESS. YES, THEY THEY HAVE THE PROPER AMOUNT OF RECREATIONAL OPEN SPACE AS WELL AS OTHER OPEN SPACE. UM. THESE HOMES. ARE THEY FOR SALE OR FOR RENT? YOU KNOW, I KNOW THERE'S AN AFFORDABLE COMPONENT HERE THAT THEIR CLAIM TO BE UNDER, YOU KNOW, HELP SOLVE THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROBLEM. ARE THEY A FORCED SALE OR FOR RENT PROPERTY AND AS WELL AS THEIR ANY AFFORDABLE HOUSING DOLLARS TOWARDS THIS SO THEY ARE, UM THEY WILL BE. LET'S SAY 10% OF THE MULTI. THERE'S A BINDING ELEMENT 10% OF THE MULTI FAMILY UNITS WILL BE COMPARABLE TO MARKET RATE UNITS EITHER SOLD OR RENTED. SO THERE WILL BE AT LEAST 10. THAT WILL BE IN THAT AFFORDABLE CATEGORY. AH, THE APPLICANT. DIDN'T INDICATE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. IF THEY WERE ALL GOING TO BE SOLD, IF THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE RENTED, UM I JUST HAVE A SERIES OF QUESTIONS OF PUT TOGETHER OVER TIME, AND I'M JUST GONNA JUST GO THROUGH THEM. UM AS FAR AS SAFETY, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THIS IS A POSSIBLY COULD BE DEVELOPED AREA. UM AND IT'S KIND OF SECLUDED BACK IN THE CORNER. FROM WHAT YOU LOOK AT ON THE MAPS, YOU KNOW, ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO INDEED HAVE ANY TYPE OF SAFETY CAMERAS FLOCK CAMERAS OF SOME SORT INSTALLED INTO THE COMMUNITY. UM TO HELP WITH SOME OF THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT WE MADE ARISE IN THE FUTURE . IF THEY ARRIVE, I DON'T SEE IT HAPPENING WITH JUST TRYING TO THINK PROACTIVELY HERE. THE APPLICANT DIDN'T INDICATE ANYTHING ABOUT, UH HAVING, UH, THOSE KIND OF SECURITY MEASURES THEY DIDN'T INDICATE IT BEING AH , HAVING LIKE SECURED ENTRANCE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. UM. AS FAR AS THE ROADWAYS. I KNOW IT USED TO BE IN MOBILE HOME PARK, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE HOMES ARE GOING TO BE LAID OUT KIND OF IN THE SAME YOU KNOW DIRECTION IS THE OLD MOBILE HOME PARK POSSIBLY WAS UM, WELL, THE ROAD WITH THE RAILWAYS, HAVE A BOND ON HIM WITH PUBLIC WORKS. AND WILL THEY BE UP TO CODE? I BELIEVE THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT IN THAT. CURRENTLY THEY WANT THE ROADS TO BE ABLE TO CODE, BUT THERE'S NO BINDING ELEMENT THAT INDICATES THAT TRAVIS IS WORKING ON THE LANGUAGE FOR THAT TO MATCH WHAT'S ON THE PLAN. IT IS UNDER THE NOTES ON THE ON THE MAIN PLAN A DEVELOPMENT PLAN, BUT HE'S WORKING ON THE WORK WARNING TO BE EXACTLY IS WHAT IS ON THE PLAN. OKAY, UM TOO LATE TO QUESTIONS LEFT. THAT'S IT. I'M SORRY. JUST TRYING TO GET THEM ALL OUT OF THE WAY. THE BUFFER AROUND THE. THE HOMES THAT ARE CURRENTLY THERE. AND WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE, UM, BUFFER IS GOING TO BE JUST TREES OR BE FENCING OR HOW THEY WERE GONNA LOOK. SO THERE ARE THERE'S SOME EXISTING FENCING ALREADY ALONG THE SOME OF THE PERIMETERS, BUT THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE WOULD ONLY REQUIRE TREES. WILL THERE BE AN H O A FEE TO COVER ROAD MAINTENANCE IN THE FUTURE, OR AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A CLUBHOUSE AND WE'RE LOOKS LIKE WE'RE BUILDING A COMMUNITY HERE, SO WILL THERE BE SOMEONE TO OVERSEE THAT OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE SOME SORT OF MAINTENANCE OVERSIGHT BECAUSE OF THE OVER THE OPEN SPACE. IT'S NOT CLEAR IF IT'S GOING TO BE AN H O A OR IF IT'S GOING TO BE OPERATED BY MAYBE ONE OWNER THAT RUNS THEM ALL OUT. COULD WE POSSIBLY MAYBE GET SOME CLARITY ON THAT BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT COUNCIL MEETING? YES. YOU HAVE TO ADD THOSE, AND I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT STANDING BY THE

[00:20:07]

AFTER SOMETHING THAT COUNSELING ABOUT SEAN MENTIONED ABOUT THE H O A WHAT HAPPENS IN A CASE WHERE IT IS ALL SOLD AND THERE'S AN H O A ABOUT THERE'S USUALLY A STANDARD BINDING ELEMENT THAT SAYS THAT THERE'S SO MUCH MONEY THAT'S TURNED OVER AT THE TIME. WHAT DO YOU DO IN THESE KIND OF CASES? I DON'T KNOW WHO'S GOING TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. UM YOU CAN'T GO BACK. I MEAN, CAN YOU IS THERE A AWAY. YOU CAN PUT A BINDING SAYS THAT IF THE PROPERTY BECOMES COMMUNITY WITH AN H AND ACTIVATE YOUR WAY THAT THE DEVELOPER WHEN HE TURNS IT OVER TO THE RESIDENTS THAT THERE'S THAT STANDARD OF. WE JUST KIND OF LIKE AT A LOSS BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE RENTED AND IT MIGHT BE SEWED. IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. THAT'S PROBABLY HOW I WOULD SUGGEST ADDRESSING IT AS A CONDITIONAL, YOU KNOW IF THIS IS OPERATED AS A EXACTLY HOW TO PHRASE. IT ALSO DON'T HAVE THAT.

NEIGHBORHOOD A LANGUAGE ON HAND. YES I WAS THINKING MAYBE WE COULD WAIT TILL DO IT ON THE FLOOR OF THE COUNCIL CAN CERTAINLY LOOK INTO THAT AND TALK WITH THE APPLICANT ABOUT THAT AS WELL TO MAKE SURE THE PHRASINGS UM CLEAR THERE, AND IF THEY, YOU KNOW, DECIDE BEFORE THEN IT'S GOING TO BE FOR RENT, AND IT'S A MOOT POINT ANYWAY. SHOW. ONE LAST QUESTION. TO THAT. I FORGOT TO MENTION. SO WE'RE SWITCHING FROM OUR FOUR TO OUR FIVE A ON THIS ZONING. THE MULTI FAMILY. I MEAN, THESE RESIDENTS LOOK LIKE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING SO HOW DO WE THE COMPANY, MULTI FAMILY IN THESE RESIDENTS. SO YOU, UH, THE COUNCIL HAS SEEN THIS BEFORE ON ON SOME OTHER SITES. UM THE ONE THAT COMES TO MIND IS SWISS HALL OVER, UM LIKE AROUND PRESTON STREET. THAT ONE HAD MAYBE A LARGE MULTI FAMILY BUILDING AND THEN IT AROUND IT. IT HAD SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS WHERE THEY RENTED OUT ALL THESE SINGLE FAMILY LOOKING BUILDINGS. SO IT'S TREATED SIMILARLY TO A IF YOU RUN IT OUT PATIO HOMES. YOU KNOW IF YOU HAD A PATIO HOME DEVELOPMENT, AND YOU JUST RENTED OUT ALL THE PATIO HOMES SO THE OVERARCHING. LANDOWNER WOULD BE THE MAIN WOULD TAKE CARE OF ALL THE MAINTENANCE. OF THE UM, ALL THE STRUCTURES AND THE EXTERIORS OF THAT IF IT WAS SOUL, ALL THESE UNITS WERE SOLD, THEN IT WOULD BE UNDER A CONDO REGIME.

SHOULD WE. POSSIBLY TRY TO GET SOME ANSWERS TO SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD, OR DO YOU FEEL OKAY, SO WE CAN CERTAINLY TRY IF YOU'D FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE, BUT I DON'T THINK I DON'T THINK THE APPLICANT HAD A CLEAR ANSWER AT THEY DID NOT WHICH WAY THEY WANTED TO GO. AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE THAT DECISION IN STONE. PRIOR TO THIS ACTUALLY COMING TO BE ANYWAY, I THINK I THINK PART OF IT IS ECONOMICS OF OUR FOLKS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE INTERESTED IN BUYING THESE UNITS, OR WILL IT BE A MORE TEMPORARY SORT OF SITUATION? UM, AND THAT MIGHT CHANGE. AS YOU KNOW THE COST OF THESE MANUFACTURED HOMES CHANGED BY THE TIME PROPERTY GETS DEVELOPED, SO I DOUBT THEY'RE GONNA COMMIT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, I GUESS IS MY POINT. BUT IF YOU'D LIKE TO GET A BETTER SENSE OF WHAT THEY'RE THINKING

[00:25:05]

AND SO I THINK THAT THAT'S A CREATIVE WAY THAT WE CAN LOOK TO FILL OUR HOUSING GAPS, ESPECIALLY FOR NOT DEALING WITH A LOT OF LAND. ESPECIALLY I'M THINKING TO MYSELF TO THAT. WHAT IF YOU HAD IF YOU HAD AN ACRE OR TWO ACRES OR SOMEPLACE, AND YOU WANTED TO IT'S LIKE THE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT. A SMALL HOUSE LIKE THAT IF YOU WANT MOM OR MOM AND DAD CLOSE TO YOU, BUT THEY WANTED THEIR SORT OF THEIR INDEPENDENCE TO GOSH, I LIKE I LIKE THESE LITTLE HOUSES MYSELF.

I THINK THERE VERY CREATIVE WAY THAT AND THE DUPLEXES TAKING NOTE OF THIS. THANK YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS? I DIDN'T NO SORRY. GO AHEAD, COUNCILMAN I WANT I HAD A COUPLE OF COUPLE OF QUICK ONES. UM SO ARE FOUR. IS THAT TYPICALLY WHAT A MOBILE HOME PARK IS? HIS ZONED. THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. OKAY, UM SOMETIMES THERE ARE ON, UH, YOU KNOW, DEVELOPED BEFORE THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE CAME IN. SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN THERE SO LONG, SO THEY'RE KIND OF NONCONFORMING. WHICH I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS THE CASE FOR THIS PARTICULAR ONE IF IT WAS NONCONFORMING, UH, I DON'T BELIEVE THERE WAS ANYTHING INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, BUT USUALLY IF IT WAS OUR FOUR, THEY WOULD NEED A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT MORE, AND IT'S NOT THAT BIG A DEAL. I WAS JUST WONDERING THAT WAS KIND OF SURPRISED THAT IT WAS OUR FOUR BEFORE AND WAS A MOBILE HOME PARK. WHAT'S THE STANDARD? TO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A CONDITION OF THESE PERMANENT. WHAT WOULD YOU NORMALLY HAVE FOR MOBILE HOME PARK? IT'S GOING TO DEPEND ON HOW MANY UNITS YOU HAVE ON THAT, BUT USUALLY IT WOULD BE A MULTI FAMILY ZONING DISTRICT, DEPENDING ON THE ZONING. OKAY UM AND THEN I WAS ALSO DID THE APPLICANT EVER THINK ABOUT GOING GOING FOR A KIND OF MIXED USE ZONE RATHER THAN HAVING YOU KNOW, COMMERCIAL ZONE AND A SOMETHING THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO DO MULTIPLE THINGS AND POTENTIALLY GETTING INFLEXIBILITY, AS OPPOSED TO ZONING SPECIFIC. COMMERCIAL AND THEN MULTI FAMILY AND THIS ONE IS JUST FOR IT'S JUST FOR RESIDENTIAL. THANK YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THE ONE PRESENTED BEFORE. MAYBE IT WAS HAVE YOU MET AND THAT'S PROBABLY WHY WE COULDN'T GET INTO THE TO THE Q. I'M SORRY, AND I'M LOOKING AT. I DON'T THINK WITH THAT. SORRY ME. DID I ASK WHAT YOU WANT TO OKAY? I'M GOOD. THANK YOU. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I'LL SEE ANYONE ELSE IN THE QUEUE. I THINK WE'RE READY TO VOTE.

WITHOUT OBJECTION. VOTING IS CLOSING. THERE ARE EIGHT YES VOTES, AND THIS WILL GO TO A BUSINESS THAT OUR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. MOVING ON TO NUMBER THREE IS AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO THE CLOSURE OF UNIMPROVED PORTION OF BEING, UM, WAY THAT EXTENDS TO BUILD THAT PARK

[3. O-280-23     AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO THE CLOSURE OF THE UNIMPROVED PORTION OF BINGHAM WAY THAT EXTENDS INTO BELKNAP PARK CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY 5,037 SQUARE FEET AND BEING IN LOUISVILLE METRO (CASE NO. 23STRCLOSURE0034). Action Required By: June 2024 Sponsors: Madonna Flood (D-24) ]

[00:30:06]

I WANT TO SAY LEFTOVER INTO THAT PARK. AND THE APPLICANT IS WANTING TO CLOSE THAT. I BELIEVE THEY WANT TO ERECT A STATUE, UH, AND BE ABLE TO USE THE WHOLE PARK. IT WILL STILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. SO THIS IS WHAT THE CLOSURE PLANT LOOKS LIKE. SO IT'S JUST THAT PIECE BEING CLOSED. UH SO THIS IS WHAT THE SUBJECT PROPERTY LOOKS LIKE. SO IT WOULD BE A LITTLE NOTCH.

THAT'S CONSIDERED THAT EXISTING PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY INTO THAT EXISTING PARK. SOME PHOTOS OF THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES. THE L D N T MEETING WAS HELD ON NOVEMBER 9TH 2023. THE PLANNING COMMISSION HELD ITS PUBLIC HEARING ON NOVEMBER 16TH 2023, THERE WAS A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE CLOSURE IN THAT PASSED BY A VOTE OF 9 TO 0. THAT'S THE END OF MY PRESENTATION. BY HEAVY QUESTIONS, COUNCILWOMAN CHAPEL PARDON ME. WHY IS THIS TINY PIECE? BEING SECTIONED OUT. AND WHY WASN'T IT IS THIS HOUSEKEEPING? I'M JUST LIKE KIND OF CAN FUSED. ON THIS BITE OUT OF THIS PROPERTY. ITS EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY THAT WAS NEVER CLOSED WITH ANYTHING ELSE, SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT STAYED OPEN, BUT IT'S MORE HOUSEKEEPING TO HAVE THAT CLOSED AND HAVE THAT WHOLE PROPERTY OWNED BY HUMANA. SOMEWHERE IN THE RECORD INDICATED THIS MIGHT HAVE ONCE BEEN TO ACCESS A LOADING DOCUMENT BUILDING THAT YOU SUSTAINED ON THIS PARCEL SO MAY HAVE JUST, YOU KNOW, BECAME ONE OF THIS TODAY AND NEVER FORMALLY WAS CLOSED BECAUSE THERE'S REALLY NOTHING NEW CONSTRUCTED. NOW WITH THE CURRENT STATUE THAT STATUE THE STATUE THIS SORT OF JUST CAME UP HAPPENS SURPRISINGLY, OFTEN WITH SOME OLDER MEN, ROADWAYS WHERE, YOU KNOW, REALIGNED OR CUT OFF RALLIES ABANDONED THAT SORT OF THING. YOU SAY THEY'RE PUTTING IN A STATUE THERE? YES, COOL. I LOVE HOUSE HOUSEKEEPING, SO LET'S LET'S CLEAN THIS UP. AND THIS IS IN COUNTERMAN J. KOREA ARTHUR'S DISTRICT, AND HE WAS SUPPORTIVE OF THIS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. SEEN THEN WE'RE READY TO VOTE. WITHOUT OBJECTION. VOTING IS CLOSING. THERE ARE EIGHT YES VOTES, AND THIS WILL GO TO CONSENT CALENDAR AND OUR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. MOVING ON TO IRAM NUMBER FOUR, WHICH IS AN ORDINANCE RELATED TO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2119 GRIFFITHS AVENUE CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY 0.45 ACRES AND BEING A LITTLE METRO CASE NUMBER 23 DASH CAT 3-00 TO 0. SECOND

[4. O-281-23     AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OPTION FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2119 GRIFFITHS AVENUE CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY 0.45 ACRES AND BEING IN LOUISVILLE METRO (CASE NO. 23-CAT3-0020). Action Required By:  June 2024 Sponsors: Madonna Flood (D-24) ]

[00:35:06]

[5. O-295-23     AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO THE CLOSURE OF A 13.5 FOOT ALLEY BOUNDED BY DRESCHER BRIDGE AVENUE AND BERTIE AVENUE, AND THOMPSON AVENUE AND DELMONT AVENUE CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY 4,171.5 SQUARE FEET AND BEING IN LOUISVILLE METRO (CASE NO. 23STRCLOSURE0027). Action Required By:  June 2024 Sponsors: Madonna Flood (D-24) ]

ALL AFFECTED AGENCIES HAVE AGREED TO THE CLOSURE OR DECLINED TO COMMENT. SO THIS IS THE AERIAL VIEW OF THE ALLEY CLOSURE. UM SO THIS ALLEY IS LOCATED BETWEEN BIRDIE AVENUE AND DRESCHER BRIDGE BIRDIE TO THE NORTH AND DRESCHER BRIDGE TO THE SOUTH. SO THIS IS THE CLOSURE. PLATT. THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE. YOU CAN SEE. IT'S MOSTLY AN IMPROVED. ANOTHER VIEW OF THAT. AH CLOSURE AND YELLOW. AH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE HELD ITS MEETING ON OCTOBER 26TH 2023 . THE PLANNING COMMISSION HELD A PUBLIC HEARING ON DECEMBER 7TH 2023, THERE WAS A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE CLOSURE PASSED BY VOTE OF 6 TO 0 WITH TWO CONDITIONS. THOSE CONDITIONS WERE THAT THEY REQUIRE DRIVEWAY IMPROVEMENTS MUST BE COMPLETED. AND BONDED AND THAT FOUR CORNERS IN THE CENTER OF THE ALLEY SHALL BE STAKED. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. AND THIS AGAIN IS IN COUNCILMAN COREY ARTHUR'S DISTRICT AND HIS EMAIL INDICATED HE WAS FINE WITH ALL OF THE ALI AND ROADWAY CLOSURES IN HIS

[00:40:03]

THE WAY HE'S TYPICALLY WORK IS THAT ONCE WHAT'S THEIR CLOSED THAN THE LAND DEFAULTS TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER? RIGHT? I GETS DIVIDED DOWN THE MIDDLE AND THEN THE PROPERTIES ON EACH SIDE. SO I GUESS I'M SURPRISED THAT THEY ADDED THOSE TWO CONDITIONS THE PLANNING COMMISSION WAS. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE THOUGHT PROCESS WAS? BEHIND THAT THE APPLICANT WANTED TO USE A PORTION OF THE ALLEY AS A DRIVEWAY. AND SO THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WHATEVER IMPROVEMENTS WERE DONE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT DRIVEWAY THAT THOSE WERE BONDED. THAT'S IT. I MEAN, THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED TO DO IT NECESSARILY. ALTHOUGH IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE, BUT THEY WERE THEY ARE THEY REQUIRED TO DO THE DRIVEWAY BROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS OR THEY JUST REQUIRED TO BOND THEM IF THEY DO THEM. THEY'RE REQUIRED TO BOMB THEM IF THEY DO THEM, SO THEY'RE USING THAT AS A DRIVEWAY NOW. AND THERE'S SOME KIND OF GRAVELLY SURFACE THERE AND, UH THEY WANT THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR ASSET THAT BEING A HARD, DURABLE SURFACE AND THAT ANY IMPROVEMENTS DONE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT DRIVEWAY. THAT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS BE BONDED.

OKAY THANKS IN THERE SOME CLASS STIPULATION ABOUT HOW MANY LIKE YOU CAN HAVE A DRIVEWAY. HOWEVER WHY DO YOU WANT TO HAVE IT? BUT YOU CAN'T PARK ON IT CAN ONLY HAVE APPROVED DRIVEWAY AND PARKING ON THAT APPROVED DRIVEWAY. RIGHT RIGHT NOW. THERE'S IT'S KIND OF ACCOMMODATING MORE OF WHAT THEY WOULD BE GETTING IN THE CLOSURE, SO IT'S JUST KIND OF FOCUSING.

ON THAT APPLICANT AND WHAT THEY WANT TO DO BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES THAT INITIATED THE CLOSURE.

UH, IT'S A THEY HAVE SPECIFIC PLANS FOR WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, WHEREAS NO ONE ELSE HAS THOSE PLANS. GOTCHA SORRY, BUT THE REST OF THE OF THE NEIGHBORS THAT WILL BE AFFECTED BY THIS WERE INVOLVED IN THE CONVERSATION. THEY JUST WEREN'T THE APPLICANT THEMSELVES. SO THERE'S AN APPLICANT AND THEN THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE INVOLVED. RIGHT THERE'S THE APPLICANT AND THEN THERE'S THE OTHER ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS THAT SOME SIGNED OFF. SOME DIDN'T SIGN OFF ON THE APPLICATION. THAT'S WHY I WENT TO FULL PUBLIC HEARING. UH BECAUSE NOT IT. THEY COULDN'T GET EVERYBODY TO SIGN OFF ON THE CLOSURE, SO THEY GOT ENOUGH TO PUSH THE APPLICATION FORWARD.

BUT NOT ENOUGH. TO NOT HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING. I MEAN, THAT'S ALL FAIR. I JUST SOME OF IT IS A LITTLE SURPRISING TO ME BECAUSE USUALLY PEOPLE WOULD TAKE LAND. IF SOMEBODY WAS GOING TO GIVE IT TO THEM. SO I WOULDN'T THEY SIGN? SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD THAT THE PROCESS THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS TO SEE NO ONE IN THE QUEUE? I THINK WE'RE READY TO VOTE, GERALD. WITHOUT OBJECTION, VOTINGS CLOSING. THERE ARE EIGHT YES VOTES, AND THIS WILL GO TO THE CONSENT CALENDAR AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. THAT CONCLUDES OUR BUSINESS IN FRONT OF US TODAY. SO WITHOUT OBJECTION,

[Adjournment Note: Agendas are followed at the discretion of the Chair. While an item may be listed, it does not mean all items will be heard and/or acted upon by the Committee.]
