City Council Meeting Minutes December 5, 2017 Page 7 of 12 Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated the original goal was for the city to give seed money for design and the building would be paid for by fund raising. He stated he didn't think the conversation was ever to have the City fund this The fund raising target needs to be realistic and the Foundation needs to raise those funds Councilmember Maloney stated this should not be funded by General Fund but possibly by a tax Vote 5-1 Councilrnember Stolzmann voting no. Councilmember Loo absent. RESOLUTION NO. 70, SERIES 2017 = A RESOLUTION APPROVING A FINAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 2,117 SQUARE FOOT TWO-STORY ADDITION AT THE REAR OF THE BUILDING AT 808 MAIN STREET Planner Ritchie stated an addition is proposed at the rear of the existing building No changes are proposed to the front approximate 100 feet There are two existing parking spaces, and the PUD keeps two parking spaces in a similar and logical location. No additional parking is required by this proposal A new trash enclosure is being proposed to be constructed at the rear of the property, where trash receptacles are currently unscreened The visibility of this addition is greatly minimized from Main Street as it is at the rear of the building Staff finds the application complies with the requirements of the Design Handbook for Downtown Louisville Staff recommends approval of Resolution 70, Series 2017 for a final Planned Unit Development to allow the construction of a two-story rear addition at 808 Main Street Andy Johnson, DAJ Design representing the owner, stated this is a fairly simple, small addition to the building. The owners want to use this expansion for the commercial kitchen From Main Street the addition is well back from the street and is 25 5 feet tall. It is about 7 feet shorter than the neighboring library building so isn't an overwhelming addition. There is a taller mechanical screen designed to give some flexibility to hide roof units; this may be shorter than proposed and will be further back on the roof Councilmember Maloney asked if the current parking would be in the same place as the proposed. Planner Ritchie stated they would be pushed back toward the alley a bit Public Comments. None Mayor Muckle stated he is happy the owner wants to reinvest in the property in a way that doesn't impact the historic structure Councilmember Keany moved to approve Resolution No. 70, Series 2017.
