<br />5.0 ST AFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />5.1 Staff has reviewed the merits of the 264 square foot variance to allow Ms. Ericksen to <br />proceed with constructing a 384 square foot storage/tool shed and playhouse and has <br />concluded that alternative configurations and equipment do exist beyond the request and <br />there is no apparent physical hardship that precludes the use of the property. <br /> <br />6.0 OUTLINE TO ESTABLISH FINDINGS <br /> <br />6.1 Staff suggests the Commission use an outline of the following possible findings to <br />determine whether the Commission finds an "undue hardship" significant enough to <br />recommend approval of a variance by the City Council. <br /> <br />a. The hardship situation was not (was) created by the applicant (Ericksen) or <br />existed prior to the applicant. . . <br /> <br />b. The unique physical features or situations within the proposal that could justify a <br />variance include ... <br /> <br />c. The economic issues that may (in part) justify a variance include... <br /> <br />d. The alternative designs that allow use of the site but do not require a variance <br />include.. . <br /> <br />e. The impacts of the project, if the variance was issued, would (would not) create <br />significant community impacts on the health, safety, or general welfare <br />including.. . <br /> <br />f Other findings deemed appropriate by the Planing Commission... <br /> <br />7.0 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION <br /> <br />By motion, and with findings, recommend denial (approval) of the proposed variance.
