The existing house was built in 1987. At this time, the lot size was smaller than what the applied zoning <br />allows. <br />5. That the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood or district <br />in which the property is located, nor substantially or permanently impair the appropriate use or <br />development of adjacent property. <br />The locations on the house where we are increasing the footprint are limited to single story height. In <br />this manner, the increased footprint will not contribute to the bulk of the house. The 3% increase is very <br />minor and will have no impact on adjacent properties. The increase in footprint complies with all <br />property setbacks. <br />6. That the variance, if granted, is the minimum variance that will afford relief and is the least <br />modification possible of the provisions of Title 17 of the Louisville Municipal Code that is in <br />question. <br />The requested variance would only allow for a very modest 3% increase in the lot coverage, but will <br />have a significant impact on the function, livability, and street presence of the house. The requested lot <br />coverage is still well below what is allowed in the R -L zone district. <br />Thank you for your consideration of this request for a lot coverage variance. We look forward to your <br />response. <br />Regards, <br />Jesse and Ann Castro, Owners <br />Chris Gray, Architect/Applicant <br />
