Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes April 19, 2023 Page 11 of 11 Hawksley asks what the board's guidance or criteria are in order to vote on this proposal. Zuccaro mentions the public benefits of this proposal Tyler Trojan points out that the map they are seeing could be exaggerated a bit on the lot lines. It might barely touch the property corner. Hawksley says what is margin of error on these drawings? Don Jacobs says if you go by FEMA, they measure everything to a hundredth of a foot. If you are within 10 percent, you are very close. He addresses the question about if we can do this without any rise in the downstream section. The reason we are doing that is because the culvert that was put in the side of the road was man made and is too small. The water jumps out of the channel and filters onto Garfield Avenue. This culvert would remove that. Sommer asks about giving homeowners a false sense of security. Jacobs says we can only do the best we can with the data and models we have. We have worked extensively to come up with this model. He mentions that all the neighbors have been notified with maps and certified letters, giving them a chance to express concern. Public Comment: Nataly Handlos, Resident of Louisville Handlos says they support this project and have been notified properly. Bev Baker, Resident of Louisville Baker says she cannot wait for this to be done. She supports this project as well.
