The two properties are located on the south side of an alley which runs east and west between Main Street and County Road. The alley is located north of Community Park and provides access for 5 properties. These properties are zoned RM and located within the Old Town Overlay District. The regulations for the Old Town Overlay District are found in Section 17.12.050 of the Louisville Municipal Code (LMC). The rear yard setback requirement for an accessory structure in Section 17.12.050 is 3 feet from the property line; a zero rear yard setback is permitted if the property is adjacent to an improved 20' wide alley. Because the alley has not been improved, the rear yard setback requirement for these properties is 3 feet. There have been two previous right of way vacations involving this alley: • Ordinance 489 (1975) — a request to vacate the alley between Lots 14 and 15, and Lots 16 and 17, Block 8 of Murphy Place. • Ordinance 1487 (2006) — a request to vacate a portion of South Front Street south of the alley. +J CI) • +J Cry Gc R x 5 TWEET ,t - 4- s.� 4 . 7- R IF • Ord. 489 +0 r +J O w CI) Alley requested to be Vacated The Public Works Department has stated they do not wish to retain the un- developed alley between 225 County Rd.
