Variance Case <br />Number 1981-1 <br />February 26, 1981 <br />BOARD OF APPEALS AND BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS MINUTES: PUBLIC HEARING FOR A <br />VARIANCE FROM THE LOUISVILLE MUNICIPAL CODE, THOMAS A. BOVIO, APPLICANT. <br />FEBRUARY 26, 1981. PAGE 4. <br />COMMENTS BY STAFF - CONTINUED: <br />d. Chairman Ross wants to know if the Scenic Heights Subdivision <br />is in the new section of Town. <br />1. Ferris replies that it is in a newer section of town. <br />8. SUMMARY BY APPLICANT - QUESTIONS TO APPLICANT - CONTINUED: <br />A. Reed would like to know more about the width of the garage. <br />1. Bovio replies that the reason for the 15 feet in width would be <br />to allow first of all on each side of the 12 foot door enough <br />space for the supporting structures. Bovio would also just <br />like to take advantage of as much room as there is available <br />to allow room for his truck inside of the garage. He also <br />believes that with the plans submitted with the application <br />do not show a door between the garage into the house, and <br />that was one reason for eliminating the walk-in door in the <br />front. A swinging door leading into the garage would take <br />up to 22 to 3 feet of space, so they would need room to be <br />able to swing that door open and still have room for the <br />vehicles inside the garage. <br />a. Davies asks does that mean that they disregard the numbers <br />onthe setback? <br />1. Reed explains that you only disregard what he's doing <br />to the front of the house, that it doesn't make any <br />difference as to what kind of variance he's applying <br />for, which is changing a 7 foot setback to a 5 foot <br />setback. <br />9. CHAIRMAN CLOSES PUBLIC HEARING. <br />A. Chairman Bob Ross closes the Public Hearing. <br />10. COMMENTS BY BOARD MEMBERS. <br />A.
