MOTION: Council member Keany moved to approve Resolution No. 26, Series 2014, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Dalton. Roll call vote was taken. The motion carried by a vote of 6 -0. RESOLUTION No. 27, SERIES 2014 — A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A FINAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) PLAN TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 2,200 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE BUILDING BEHIND AN EXISTING BUILDING AT 931 MAIN STREET ON LOT 2, BLOCK 5 OF THE TOWN OF LOUISVILLE SUBDIVISION Council member Stolzmann disclosed she has walked past the property in question numerous times and knows the architect. She did not feel it would influence her decision on this PUD request. Mayor Muckle opened the public, hearing and requested a staff presentation. Planning and Building Safety Director Russ explained the property is located at 931 Main Street on two lots, south of South Street and occupied by a retail business. The request is for a final planned unit development (PUD) to allow a 2,200 SF office building behind an existing building at 931 Main Street. Two primary uses are proposed for the property. There are encroachment issues north of the property and the applicant is working with the neighbor on the encroachment. The two properties also share the same sewer line. The building code requires each property to have an independent sewer line. If this PUD is approved a sewer agreement between property owners would be required. Site Plan: The proposed development locates the new two -story structure approximately 16 feet west of the existing building along the northern property line, creating a continuous walkway from Main Street to the alley. The design guidelines in Downtown Louisville allow all primary structures to be built without a side setback. The property to the north has a residential structure located approximately 1.2 feet from its south property line and has a patio encroaching into the subject property. The applicant worked with the owner of 824 South Street to ensure the proposed building minimizes its impact on the existing residential structure and patio. As a result, the applicant is providing a "notch" in the new building to allow for 3 feet of separation from the existing residential structure. The encroaching patio will be rebuilt to remove the encroachment concerns between the properties. The Downtown area architecture is regulated by the Downtown Design Handbook. The materials are consistent with the Handbook and are similar in scale and design found
