<br />V ARJANCE <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Variance Criteria <br />When considering a Variance, the Commission must dcterminc whether the conditions <br />required for a variance are present Adherence to the provisions of the ordinance is <br />required except for special cases, which arise because of the configuration of a particular <br />parcel. Thc condition shall not have been created by the landowner. A variance or <br />variances may be granted from specific provisions of this ordinance because such land <br />factors as length of a side of a lot, the shapc of the lot or the unusual terrain prohibit <br />reasonable development equivalent to that which would be permitted without variance on <br />a similar size lot located in the same district, but which lot has no unusual configuration. <br />Economic conditions alone shall not be grounds for a variance. In no case shall the <br />granting of a variance impair the health, safety, comfort and general welfare of the <br />public, nor will it be contrary to the intent and purpose of the Comprehensive Plan, the <br />official map, or this or any other ordinance ofthc city. <br /> <br />Applicant's Statement <br /> <br />The applicant states that hardship is present due to the unique circumstances created by <br />the fire, lot characteristics and character of neighborhood. The existing home was <br />severely damaged by an accidental fire that started in an enelosed patio. The property is <br />adjacent to roadways on three sides causing the buildable area of the parcel to be limited. <br />The property also has an irregular shape that contributes to the limited buildable area. <br />Granting of the variance would permit the construction of a new home utilizing the <br />footprint of the existing home. The proposed home would not impedc visibility at the <br />street intersection and would complimcnt the neighborhood. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />STAFF REVIEW <br /> <br />The staff has reviewed this proposal in accordance with the variance criteria and believes <br />hardship is present. The applicant's proposal is reasonable due to the property's <br />characteristics and character of the neighborhood. The reconstruction of a home on the <br />property utilizing the same footprint area is reasonable. The property's frontage on three <br />roadways does limit the buildability of the parcel when the minimum street setbacks are <br />proposed. The property also has a unique shape, which limits the buildable area. The <br />proposed encroachment on these setbacks will not have a negative impact on the <br />neighborhood because this condition was "pre-existing" and the home has been designed <br />to be in scale with the existing homc and other homes in the neighborhood. Visibility on <br />the roadways will not be affected since the home is setback approximately 97 feet from <br />the intersection. <br /> <br />PUBLIC COMMENT <br /> <br />Property owners within ncighborhood wcre notified of the request. One comment in <br />support has been received. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2 <br />
