They wanted to add an additional <br />1,300 square feet if possible. <br />Stewart asked staff for clarification on where the garage may be accessed and placed. <br />McCartney explained how the Louisville Municipal Code addresses access and placement. <br />Baxter explained they wanted to place the garage on the western side of the property to try <br />and maintain the existing trees. <br />Koertje asked if there was a garage on the property now. <br />Baxter answered no. He then asked who owned the ditch. <br />McCartney stated he believed the City owned the land. He stated he would check with the <br />Public Works Department to confirm. <br />Stewart commended the applicant on their sensitivity to the existing house. He added the <br />HPC can assist with some ideas of garage placement and will double check the municipal <br />code as it relates to the setback requirement. He stated that even though the property has two <br />street fronts, the Lincoln Avenue street face is the most important. <br />The group continued to discuss other design options on the draft site plan. Discussion ensued <br />regarding saving the trees. <br />Fasick asked if the existing honey locusts were healthy enough to save. <br />Baxter stated he had an arborist check them out and they were healthy. <br />Koertje stated it sounded like they were on the right track. <br />Stewart thanked them for the discussion and asked for staff to connect them. <br />Update – Austin Niehoff RFP <br />McCartney presented the attached memo and gave an update.
