1. Chester Cichosz has applied for a variance from Sections 14-133(5)
and 14-108 of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit a detached
garage to be less than six feet from a single family home and to permit the
garage to occupy 29% of the rear yard instead of the maximum which is 25%
for property located in the R-2, Single Family District, at the following
location, to -wit:
Lot 4, Block 1, Texatonka Addition
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance
(Case No. 79 -8 -VAR) and has recommended to the City Council that the application
be granted.
3. The Council has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon
the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated
traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the nublic safety,
the effect on values of property in the surrounding area and the effect of the
proposed variance upon the Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding
property, it is possible to use the subject property in such a way that the
proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property, unreasonably increase the congestion in the public streets,
increase the danger of fire, endanger the public safety, unreasonably diminish
or impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any other respect be contrary
to the intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
5. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question
are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property and do not
apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which such land
is located.
