FILE # 17-3942 <br />19 June 2017 <br />Page 5 of 5 <br />difficulties affecting the Property; the variances are necessary and do not merely serve <br />as a convenience to the owner. <br />The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances. <br />Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the <br />impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use <br />permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located. <br />Practical Difficulties Statement <br />Applicant has completed the Practical Difficulties Documentation Form attached as Exhibit B, and <br />should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application. <br />Practical Difficulties Analysis <br />Staff finds that there are practical difficulties inherent to the lot area, width, presence of the <br />wetland and the existing improvements which support the granting of reasonable variances. <br />Engineer Comments <br />The City Engineer has conducted a preliminary review of the plans and found nothing preventing <br />the development; a comprehensive review will be conducted at the time of a building permit <br />application. <br />Public Comments <br />To date, no public comments have been received. <br />Issues for Consideration <br />1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the <br />property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control? <br />2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the <br />essential character of the neighborhood? <br />3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the <br />impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)? <br />4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br />Planning Staff Recommendation <br />Staff finds the requested variances to be reasonable. Planning staff recommends approval. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A.
