Findings
1. R.J. Westling has applied for a variance from Sections 14-107 and
14-143 of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit a lot area of 1,683
square feet; to permit a rear yard of nine feet; and to allow two principal
buildings on one lot for an eleven -unit apartment building and a single-family

to -wit:
Lot 9, Block 2, Texa-Tonka 3rd Addition and the
North 100' of Lots 11 and 12, Block 2, Texa-Tonka
3rd Addition
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a
variance (Case No. 79 -51 -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 public 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.
6. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant: It will not
merely serve as a convenience to the applicant but is necessary,to alleviate
demonstrable hardship or difficulty.
Conclusion
The application for a variance for the purpose,designated is granted, based
upon the findings set forth above.
