No disclosures or conflicts of interest. Ritchie presented the application for an addition and a request for outdoor eating and drinking, which included a first -story addition, a smaller second -story addition, and a rooftop deck, to be enclosed by a solid wall on the south side. She described the regulations under the Design Handbook for Downtown Louisville and noted that the application did not require any waivers. Ritchie explained that there was a live/work dwelling unit, which was allowed under the Code, and that the proposed hours of operation would be until midnight on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and until 10 PM Monday through Thursday. She shared that the applicants had revised their application to specify no amplified music, though they did intend to have acoustic music during the hours of operation. Staff recommended approval with the following condition: 1. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall receive approval of the final utility design from public works. Ritchie explained that the condition did not reflect an issue with the Public Works department. Instead, it was a technical condition since the applicant was still working through the process with Public Works. Diehl asked about the stairwells. Ritchie replied that from Main Street there would be new stairs connecting the sidewalk to the second floor. There would also be an interior stairwell, as well as access from the rear. She added that there would be a new sidewalk along the rear of the property to provide ADA access into the building. There would not be ADA access to the rooftop deck. Diehl asked if the only way up to the rooftop deck was the back stairwell. Ritchie replied that there was an internal stairwell, as well.
