Robinson stated it was due to more than 50% of the roof being removed and the siding is being removed. Andy Johnson spoke for the applicant, stating the following: Post world war construction Architecturally not special Social History includes construction by a Steinbaugh, even though there are several houses throughout Louisville which have this same history (being built by a Steinbaugh) The applicants needs more SF. The asbestos siding is more than likely original The roof pitch will need to be modified due to Old Town regulations. Stewart stated he found the social history somewhat compelling due to the Steinbaugh connection. He then inquired how many houses have been constructed by Steinbaugh.
