6. That the variance, if granted, is the minimum variance that will afford relief and is the least modification possible of the provisions of Title 17 of the Louisville Municipal Code that is in question. The variance, if approved, would allow the shed right against the easement. The variance would allow only the proposed shed. Staff finds this criterion has been met. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Public notice was mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the subject property. At the time of this report's creation, staff had not received any public comments. If comments are received prior to the hearing, they will be presented at the hearing. STAFF COMMENTS AND BOARD ACTION: Staff finds all applicable variance criteria in Section 17.48.110 of the LMC have been met and therefore recommends approval of the variance request. The Board may approve (with or without condition or modification), deny, or continue the application to a future meeting for additional consideration. The Board may also request additional information if they feel it is needed for their proper consideration of the variance application. The Board will need to make a determination based on the application as it has been submitted. If the Board desires the applicant to make changes to the application that would affect the extent of the variance requested, staff recommends the Board continue the hearing to a later date. The Board needs to find all six variance criteria, insofar as applicable, have been met in order to grant approval of a variance. If the Board wishes to deny the variance request, staff recommends passing a motion denying the variance indicating which criteria for approval have not been met. If the Board determines that the variance meets all of the applicable criteria for approval, staff recommends passing a motion approving the variance request. ATTACHMENT 1. Applicant Information 2.
