That the unusual circumstances or conditions do not exist throughout the neighborhood or district in which the property is located; This condition is unique to this historic site and structure and these conditions do not exist throughout the neighborhood or district in which the property is located. 3.

That such unnecessary hardship has not been created by the applicant; The historic structure was constructed approximately 100 years ago, and the grade has obviously been altered since the building was first constructed. The new grading which is proposed is intended to protect the structure from surface runoff and groundwater to a greater extent, however the site cannot be raised to fully protect the structure without total reconstruction of the historic structure, which is not a viable alternative. The hardship has not been created by the applicant, and is intended to be lessened by the proposed improvements. S. That the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood or district in which the property is located, nor substantially or permanently impair the appropriate use or development of adjacent property; The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood or district in which the property is located, nor substantially or permanently impair the appropriate use or development of adjacent property. 6. That the variance, if granted, is a minimum variance that will afford relief and is the least modification possible of the provisions of this title which are in question; The variance, if granted, is a minimum variance that will afford relief and is the least modification possible of the provisions of this title which are in question. The area proposed for the variance is less than 100sf in area, and is the smallest functional area that will work with the configuration of the historic structure. Please consider this Floodplain Development Permit and Board of Adjustments Variance request for these combined properties. We look forward to your comments as we move forward with this important redevelopment project for Louisville. Sincerely, 'k Hartronft, Ma Presidept, Hartro r, LMSLLC ssociates, p.c.
