0 0 LOUISVILLE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT STAFF REPORT JUNE 17, 1992 ITEM: Jean Morgan - Special Exception Permit Public Hearing APPLICANT: Jean Morgan, 1131 Spruce Street LOCATION: 1117 Spruce Street - (Lots 8 and 9, except the south 28 feet thereof, in Block 3, East Louisville, an addition to the Town of Louisville, County of Boulder). OWNER: Jean Morgan ZONING: Residential Medium Density - RM REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a Special Exception Permit to replace a single family structure within the 100 year flood plain. BACKGROUND: Pursuant to Section 17.56.170B of the Louisville Municipal Code (LMC), a single family home is considered a restricted use within the flood regulatory district. Prior to issuance of a building permit such a use must be authorized by the Board. On April 15th of this year the Board granted two setback variances to the applicant to replace an existing 590 s.f. residence on the subject property. The applicant has submitted building plans to construct a 576 s.f. (24' x 24') with an attached single car (14'x 24') garage subject to setback variances granted in April. Upon review of building plans, staff reviewed the flood plain designation provided on the applicant's Improvement Location Certificate (ILC). The ILC certified the property as being in a Zone C or outside the 100 year floodplain. Based on the most current Flood Insurance Rate Maps (7/15/88), staff contested the designation and advised the applicant that the property was within Zone A, or within the 100 year floodplain. The Building Division has not received building plans at this time.
