WHEREAS, the City has received a request for a variance from said Ordinance to construct a 360 foot

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 City's Ordinance Code.

immediately adjoining property and do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district
h in which such land is located.
4. 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.
5. Under the City Ordinance Code, this variance shall be deemed to be abandoned, revoked, or
canceled if the holder shall fail to complete the work on or before the variance is granted.
