of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit lot width, area, and setback
variances for property located in the R-4 District at the following location,
to -wit:
Commencing 14-12/100 feet west of northeast corner of Lot 1,

thence north 120 feet, thence west 44-12/100 feet to beginning
Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 007, "Manhattan Park"
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a
variance (Case No. 80 -98 -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 ques-
tion 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.
