City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />August 16, 2022 <br />Page 8 of 9 <br />Mayor Stolzmann opened the public hearing and asked for disclosures; hearing none <br />she opened the public hearing. <br />Planner Marchetti stated this item has been revised since the last time it was before <br />Council in June. She stated at that meeting the Council supported a process where City <br />staff maintains responsibility for public notices but there is some flexibility in how the <br />notices are sent. She stated this new version increases the mailed notice radius from <br />500 feet to 750 feet for all land use cases except for historic preservation applications, <br />variances, and floodplain development permits. <br />Staff recommends approval of the ordinance as amended. <br />Public Comments <br />Mark Cathcart, Louisville, stated he appreciates the larger distance being added for <br />notices as a way to reach more people. He noted some locations where notices have <br />not been consistently posted. He asked Council to vote yes in these changes. <br />Maria McClure, Louisville, stated she supports changes that help fire rebuilding. <br />Mayor Stolzmann stated she has seen reasonable evidence that we did not have proper <br />notice for this item and asked if it needed to be continued. <br />City Attorney Kelly stated that the original posting was correct and the continuance at <br />the last meeting maintained that posting so there is no need to continue the item based <br />on that. <br />Councilmember Fahey asked why the historic preservation items and floodplain items <br />were not expanded to 750 feet. Kay Marchetti stated that for those types of cases the <br />application is generally limited to one specific structure and generally for those cases it <br />is the immediate neighbors who will be most impacted. Director Zuccaro noted this is a <br />policy decision that Council can determine. <br />Public Comments — None. <br />MOTION: Mayor Pro Tern Maloney moved to approve the ordinance as presented; <br />Councilmember Brown seconded the motion. <br />Councilmember Brown asked if this new ordinance would still allow the applicant to be <br />charged the cost of the mailing. Director Zuccaro stated that the fees for that would be <br />updated with the next fee schedule and would require the applicant to pay the cost. <br />Mayor Stolzmann closed the public hearing. <br />Vote: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote <br />37 <br />
