(Case No. 81 -60 -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

on values of property in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed
variance upon the Comprehensive Plan.

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.

apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which such
land is located.

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
