Applicants have further <br /> �rovided soil testing and septic system design <br /> information to verify that the primary and alternate <br /> drainfield sites exist on the property. The fact that <br /> there is a house on the property already is more <br /> compelling in favor of granting of the variance than if <br /> the property was vacant. <br /> C) A residence can be constructed on the property <br /> meeting all setback requirements. However, a side <br /> setback variance is requested strictly for the, purpose <br /> of maximizing the separation distance between the <br /> alternate mound drainfield site and the residence. <br /> Because the general groundwater flow of treated <br /> effluent away from mound system will be towards the <br /> house, maximizing the separation will decrease the <br /> potential for possible wet basement problems. <br /> D ) The neighboring residence to the south is <br /> approximately 100' from the applicants' existing <br /> residence. The proposed house location with a 10' side <br /> setback variance yields a 150' separation. The new <br /> house location will tend to increase the perceive�d <br /> openness of the neighborhood rather than increasing the <br /> perceived density. <br /> 4. The City Council has considered this application <br /> including the findings and recommendations of the Planning <br /> Commission, reports by City staff , comments by the <br /> applicants and the effect of the proposed variances on the <br /> hea 1 th, saf ety and we 1 f are of the community. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on <br /> this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally <br /> to other property in this zoning district; that granting the <br /> variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, <br /> Iight, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to <br /> neighboring property; would not merely serve as a <br /> convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to <br /> alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is <br /> necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the <br /> applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and <br /> intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the <br /> City. <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
