Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes April 18, 2018 Page 3 of 8 Ritchie reviews the location of the property, notes the lot sizes for the RE zone district and summarizes the proposal. Staff Recommendations: Staff finds that all six criteria in Municipal code Section 17.48.110 are met and recommends the Board of Adjustment approval of the variance request. Board Questions of Staff: Campbell asks who the developer was for the property. Ritchie says that she does not know who the builder or developer was for that property. Applicant Presentation: Applicant: Jesse Castro Castro's presentation mentions that he is only adding 2.4% of lot coverage, which he believes is very conservative and only affects the front entry way of the house. Board Questions of Applicant: None heard. Public Comment in Favor: None heard. Public Comment Against: None heard. Summary and request by Staff and Applicant: None heard. Closed Public Hearing and discussion by Board: Stuart agrees with staff that the applicant meets all six criteria and that what is proposed meets the existing character of the neighborhood. Levinson states that it is a reasonable proposal and is inclined to support staff's recommendation of approval. Campbell expresses concern of approving the variance because the lot is not the smallest in the subdivision and the lot is not unusual in the neighborhood. Ewy believes it adequately meets the criteria and will vote to approve it. Leedy also believes the application met all the criteria and is inclined to vote in approval. Motion is made by Levinson to approve 794 W Tamarisk Street, a variance from Section 17.12.040 of the Louisville Municipal Code (LMC) to allow an increase in the maximum lot coverage from 20% to 26% to allow an addition to an existing single family home. Motion is seconded by Campbell. Roll call vote.
