5 <br />If the variance were granted it would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood <br />because the house is located next to an open area. Therefore if the proposed addition <br />were to be located within 8 feet from the side lot line, it would not have the appearance of <br />being any closer to the lot line than it already is. Staff finds this criterion has been met. <br /> <br />6. That the variance, if granted, is the minimum variance that will afford relief and is <br />the least modification possible of the provisions of Title 17 of the Louisville <br />Municipal Code that is in question. <br /> <br />Based on internal components of the existing house, the location of the driveway, and the <br />topography of the lot, staff believes this is a minimum variance for this requested addition. <br />Staff finds this criterion has been met. <br /> <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS: <br /> Public notice was mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the subject property. At <br />the time of this report’s creation, staff had not received any public comment. If comments <br />are received prior to the hearing, that information will be presented at the hearing. <br /> <br />STAFF COMMENTS AND BOARD ACTION: <br /> Staff finds all of the applicable variance criteria in Section 17.48.110 of the LMC have been <br />met and therefore recommends approval of the variance request. <br /> <br />The Board may approve (with or without condition or modification), deny, or continue the <br />application to a future meeting for additional consideration. The Board may also request <br />additional information if they feel it is needed for their proper consideration of the variance <br />application. The Board will need to make a determination based on the application as it <br />has been submitted. If the Board desires the applicant to make changes to the application <br />that would affect the extent of the variance requested, staff recommends the Board <br />continue the hearing to a later date. <br /> <br />The Board needs to find all six variance criteria, insofar as applicable, have been met in <br />order to grant approval of a variance. If the Board wishes to deny the variance request, <br />staff recommends passing a motion denying the variance indicating which criteria for <br />approval have not been met. If the Board determines that the variance meets all of the <br />applicable criteria for approval, staff recommends passing a motion approving the variance <br />request. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT <br /> <br />1.
