Findings
1. Larry Johnson has applied for a variance from Section 14-128(5) of
the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit reconstruction of a front porch
within the front yard with a setback of ten feet instead of the required 35 feet
for a single family residence located in the R-1, Single Family District, at the
following location, to -wit:
North 80 feet of Lot 8, Block 1, Brookside Second Division
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals has reviewed the application for a variance
(Case No. 81 -68 -VAR) and has recommended to the City Council that the applica-
tion be granted.
3. The City 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 the conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding
property, it is possible to use the subject property in such a way that the pro-
posed 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.
