Case No. 08-010-FS . Applicant and Representative: WestMark Design & Construction, LLC (Tom Ramsey) . Owner: Dorene Romero . Case Manager: Sean McCartney, Principal Planner Public Notice: Published in the Daily Camera on March 30, 2008. Posted in City Hall, Public Library, Recreation Center and the Police and Courts Building and mailed to surrounding property owners on March 28, 2008 Conflict of Interest and Disclosure: Tengler stated he lives at 494 W. Spruce St., which is approximately 3 blocks from the subject property, but he does not feel it creates a conflict of interest. Staff Report of Facts and Issues: McCartney provided the following points of discussion: . The request is for a final subdivision platy approving a minor subdivision replat for a two-lot single-family residential subdivision in Louisville Heights. . The current address is 245 Spruce St., Lots 8 - 11, Block 4, Louisville Heights Subdivision. . The current property includes four (4) platted 25' X 125" lots, originally plated in 1904. . The existing home was built in 1925 with a 1,562 SF single level home and a 396 SF garage. . A demolition permit was submitted to the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). On October 6, 2007, the HPC did not find the structure to have sufficient historic value to delay issuance of the permit. . The property is subject to the zoning regulations as established in the Residential Low Density (RL) and the Old Town Overlay District. . The request to split the lot would result in two lots: both measuring 6,250 SF in lot area and 62.5 feet in width. Therefore the applicant was required to apply for a variance review before the Board of Adjustment (BOA). The BOA reviewed and approved the two variance requests on February 20,2008. . The two variances were: 1) a reduction in the minimum lot size of 7,000 SF to approximately 6,250 SF 2) a reduction in the minimum lot width of 70 feet to approximately 65.2 feet.
