. Road into two separate lots, replat the Parbois Place Subdivision, and include the two new lots in the Parbois Place PUD. The applicant is Carmel Whittier. The subject property is zoned Residential Medium Density(R-M) and is within the Old Town overlay district. b. The application requests approval of an amendment to the Parbois Place PUD and subdivision of an unplatted 14,573 square foot parcel of land to create two new lots, one of which (lot 7) is proposed to be 8,494 and the other(lot 8)which is proposed to be 6,125 square feet. c.

The property to the east of the site contains a warehouse and the Louisville Grain elevator. Additional single- family homes fronting on Main Street are located to the west of the subject property. d. The proposed subdivision would result in the creation of a new single-family dwelling unit on lot 8 which would front on the alley between County Road and Main Street. The proposed dwelling unit would be located within 14.5 feet of the western property line. e. The required setback for the proposed new single-family dwelling is 20 feet. The required minimum lot size for a lot in the R-M zone district and the Old Town overlay district is 7,000 square feet. Modifications to such requirements may be requested through the PUD development plan review process. f. The decision criteria that apply to the applicant's minor subdivision request are set forth in Section 16.12.075 of the Louisville Municipal Code(LMC). g. The decision criteria that apply to the applicant's proposed final PUD development plan amendment are set forth in Chapter 17.28 of the LMC. Section 3. Based on the foregoing findings, and the evidence and testimony presented at the public hearing, the City Council hereby concludes that the application should be denied for the following reasons: a. The requested modifications from the front setback requirement and the minimum lot size requirement requested in the PUD amendment do not meet the criteria in Section 17.28.110 of the LMC. In particular, the City Council concludes that the PUD amendment does not include design or amenities or public use benefits warranting a reduction in the front setback from 20 to 14.5' adjacent to the alley on the west side of the property and to permit a 6,125 square foot lot where the minimum required lot size is 7,000 square feet. b. The proposed PUD amendment does not satisfy or meet the spirit and intent of the development plan criteria in Section 17.28.120 of the LMC. In particular, with respect to criterion B.15 of Section 17.28.120, the City Council concludes that the proposed PUD amendment is not compatible with surrounding designs and neighborhoods.
