Commencing at Lot 3, Block 1, Boulevard Heights Second Addition
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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 to permit the construction of a single family
dwelling having a lot area of 4,494 square feet instead of the required 4,800
square feet based upon the findings set forth above.
