Finding
1. Kathleen Wecker has applied for a variance from Section 14:5-4.3(P)(6) of the
Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit a front yard setback of 32.25 feet instead
of the required 37.125 feet for property located in the R-2 Single Family District at the
following location, to -wit:
Legal: Lot 28, Block 10 Suburban Homes Co.'s Addition
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals held a public hearing, received testimony from the
public, discussed the application for a variance Case No. 16-95 VAR and, upon finding
that the request did not satisfy the Ordinance necessary for granting a variance,
approved Resolution of Denial 16-95 on a vote of 4-1.
3. On October 26, 1995, the applicant, Kathleen Wecker, filed an appeal of this decision
of the Board of Zoning Appeals.
4. On Monday November 6, 1995, the City Council considered the appeal of Kathleen
Wecker from the decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals.
5. 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 the values of the property in the
surrounding area, and the effect of the proposed variance upon the Comprehensive
Plan.
6. 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 the health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any
other respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive
plan.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. The contents of Planing Case File 16-95 VAR are hereby entered into and made part of
the public record and the record of decision for this case.
A. 93-i4s--'
