ILI City of Louisville Planning Department November 22, 1993 Ms. Susan Griffiths, City Attorney Griffiths & Tanoue 1860 Blake Street, #550 Denver, CO 80202 RE: Variance for 1201 Grant Street On September 16, 1993 the Board of Adjustment heard a variance request from Peter Stewart to build a two story addition to an existing single family residence at 1201 Grant Street. The record of that meeting including application, petitioner's justification, site plans, staff report, Public Hearing notice and minutes is attached. The record clearly reflects that the applicant intended to add on to the existing non -conforming structure. This is reflected in the Public Hearing notice, the applicant's site plan, letter of justification and presentation to the Board of Adjustment as reflected in the minutes. Nowhere in the record does the applicant indicate any intent to demolish the existing structure. Based upon the evidence presented at the hearing, the Board of Adjustment granted the requested variance without conditions. A building permit was issued based upon the variance granted by the Board of Adjustment. Subsequently the applicant completely demolished the existing structure except for the foundation. The Building Department issued a stop work order because the scope of work being done exceeded the scope of the variance and building permit. The demolition of the existing structure eliminated the nonconforming status of the structure under Section 17.36.060. (See attached letter dated November 19, 1993 from Building Official to Peter Stewart.) If you have any further questions, please contact me at 666-6565 ext. 156. Sincerely, Peter H.
