City Council Meeting Minutes March 19, 2013 Page 7 of 10 UNITS — Public Hearing Mayor Muckle opened the public hearing and requested a staff presentation. Planning Director Russ explained the Applicant, Garrett Mundelein, has requested an amendment to the Amended Parbois Place Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) to eliminate a requirement within the PUD to demolish the eastern most building on Lot 3 and request a second residential unit on Lot 3, increasing the total number of allowed units within the PUD to increase from 15 to 16 units. The original and the amended Parbois Place PUDs maintain a development restriction of 15 units based on the subdivision's total land area and the existing underlying Residential Medium Density (RM) Zone District allowed density. The 15 unit density requirement is tied to the demolition of the existing structure located on the property to ensure compliance. The PUD required the demolition of the eastern most building on Lot 3. The original Parbois Place PUD conditioned the release of the Certificates of Occupancy for Building 4 (Units 9 and 10) on Lot 4 to the demolition of the eastern most building on Lot 3 to ensure a 16th unit would not be constructed, or occupied within the subdivision. On January 8, 2013, the City Council removed the condition restricting the Certificates of Occupancy of Building 4 on Lot 4 to the demolition of the eastern most building on Lot 3, but not the elimination of the demolition requirement on Lot 3. The underlying RM zoning would allow two units on the property. The Parbois Place PUD redistributed the total allowed 15-units within the PUD, increasing the density of units toward Downtown Louisville and Elm Street while reducing density toward the residential neighborhood to the South. The PUD restricted Lot 3 to a single unit and established an approval date no later than 36 months after the date of Final Plat and PUD approval. The single family house on Lot 4 has been demolished, but the easternmost home on Lot 3 and the garage on Lot 6 have not been demolished. Public Land Dedication: The applicant previously satisfied this requirement by paying a 15% public land dedication fee. With this request, the applicant is not required to provide a 15% land dedication fee because the proposed action is not creating an additional ownership designation. However, since this lot has been platted, staff recommends approval be conditioned on payment of a public land dedication fee upon any future subdivision or creation of separate ownership for any portion of Lot 3. Staff recommended approval of Resolution No. 15, Series 2013, which increases the density from 15 units to 16 units within the Parbois Place Subdivision by allowing a second unit on Lot 3 with one condition: 1. A public land dedication fee shall be paid upon subdivision or creation of separate ownership for any portion of Lot 3 accordance with section 16.16.060 of the Louisville Municipal Code (LMC).
