<br />Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />April 17, 2008 <br />Page 9 of 15 <br /> <br />Hartman expressed concern that the Historic Preservation Commission could not <br />provide a detailed report of their findings for the historic value of the current home. She <br />also stated her issues with four (4) buildings (2 homes and 2 detached garages) instead <br />of one (1) larger home with a possible attached garage. She stated she does not <br />support the subdivision. <br /> <br />Lipton stated he would vote against the subdivision. He stated he felt that consideration <br />should be given to comments expressed by the neighbors and their not supporting the <br />subdivision. He also feels it not does fit the character of the neighborhood. He would <br />support one larger residence. <br /> <br />Pritchard stated his support of the subdivision. The location of the lot is in an area that <br />he would refer to as a transition area, very similar to the transition area in Downtown <br />Louisville of the Commercial zoning and the residential zoning. The product type that is <br />being proposed by Ramsey is a needed. Also, the market will really determine what <br />happens with the lot or lots. <br /> <br />Tengler stated his support of the subdivision. He appreciates the work he has observed <br />that the applicant has done on other projects. The four (4) structures on the lot would <br />have less visual impact because the detached garages would be limited to a 20' height. <br />He asked if the Commission could impose limits or conditions. <br /> <br />Wood requested perm ission to address his question. <br /> <br />Wood stated the subdivision could carry regulations on bulk, setbacks, etc but could not <br />set limitations for a specific design standard. Any structure that is built will be required to <br />meet the Old Town Overlay Zone District regulations. The subdivision is not eligible for <br />a planned unit development (PUD) because it is not large enough in area. <br /> <br />Sheets stated her support of the subdivision because the two single-family homes <br />would be more in character with the neighborhood then one larger home. The density of <br />two homes, the environmental footprint and pricing of the homes will be more fitting for <br />Louisville. <br /> <br />Sheets moved and Tengler seconded a motion to approve Resolution No.1 0, Series <br />2009 as presented by staff. <br /> <br />Roll Call Vote: <br /> <br />Name Vote <br />Jeff Lipton No <br />Chris Pritchard Yes <br />Susan S.
