2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance
(Case No. 81 -40 -VAR), and has recommended to the City Council that the applica-
tion 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 arearand 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.
