Sycamore Ct. – Case #12-016-VAVA: Approval of a Section 17.12.040 of the <br />Louisville Municipal Code (LMC) to allow an addition to an existing home, creating a lot <br />coverage of 25% where 20% is allowed. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: Approval <br />BOA Decision: Approved <br /> <br /> <br />2013 WORK GOALS: <br />At the beginning of a BOA variance hearing, the Chairman of the Board reads a script <br />which outlines the procedure of the hearing to the applicant and anyone in the audience <br />(see attachment). The script helps to ensure the board follows the same procedure for <br />every application that comes before them. The Board has expressed some <br />dissatisfaction with the amount of time it takes to read through the script, and has <br />requested staff work with the City attorney to develop a shorter version which still <br />ensures due process is maintained. <br /> <br />Aside from modifying the script, the BOA’s work plan includes continuing to hear <br />Variance and Floodplain Development requests as they are submitted. The first case <br />before the BOA in 2013 was heard on February 20th. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT: <br />Board of Adjustment Script <br /> <br />3
