Planning Commission Staff Report January 26, 2012 BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting a minor subdivision plat - lot line adjustment between his two properties (1562 and 1550 Madison Court) Lots 17 and 18, Block 8 within the Hillsborough West 1 Subdivision. The Hillsborough West 1 Subdivision Plat and PUD were approved by the City of Louisville in September of 1977. Section 16.12.110 of the Louisville Municipal Code (LMC) outlines the procedure for making lot line adjustments. This specific request meets the criteria established in the LMC for a minor subdivision. Section 16.12.110 (C)(2) criteria states: “The subdivision is a replat of an approved final subdivision plat which does not increase the number of lots or increase density, and which does not result in a material change in the extent, location, or type of public improvements, easements, arrangement of streets, open space, or utilities” As a result, the typical preliminary platting process is not required and the application can proceed with only one public hearing before Planning Commission and one public hearing before City Council. PROPOSAL The applicant is requesting a lot line adjustment between his two properties to equal-out the parcel sizes and increase the usability / salability of both lots. A more detailed description of the applicant’s request is detailed in the attached application. The proposed lot line adjustment reduces 1562 Madison Ct (Lot 17, Block 8) lot area from 15,855 SF to 11,711 SF a difference of 4,144 SF. The adjustment increases the lot area of 1550 Madison Ct (Lot 18, block 8) from 9,939 to 14,083, an increase of 4,683 SF. Proposed lot Line Existing lot Line 1562(lot17) 1550 (lot 18) 2
