The essential character of the neighborhood will be altered if the <br /> proposed variances are granted and the new additional structure in the 0- <br /> 75' zone is allowed to be constructed. <br /> D. The amount of light and air in the neighborhood would be diminished by <br /> converting the existing open deck to an enclosed structure on this <br /> , substandard lot. <br /> E. The conditions and zoning code limitations imposed and existing on this <br /> property generally apply to all other land and structures in the zoning <br /> district in which this property is located. <br /> F. Granting of the proposed variances would appear to serve as a <br /> convenience to the applicants and the applicants have not demonstrated <br /> • sufficient reasonable hardship or practical difficulty to support the <br /> variance requests. <br /> G. The granting of this application is not necessary for the preservation and <br /> enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicants. Denial of a <br /> room addition for a therapeutic swim area in a location where such <br /> � structure would not normally be allowed, is not considered by Council <br /> to be a denial of substantial property rights. � <br /> 1l. In review of the facival findings noted above, the Council finds that granting of <br /> the proposed variances to allow construction of the proposed room addition <br /> would be in complete conflict with the environmental standards for lakeshore <br /> development within the City and would be detrimental to the public health, <br /> safety and welfare. The City also looks to the broader environmental principals <br /> and goals set forth in its Community Management Plan and the intent of the <br /> specific zoning district standards when dealing with matters of public health, <br /> safety and welfare. Issues involving public health, safety and welfare are not <br /> only resolved by securing the obvious tr�c and drainage concerns, but the City <br /> is obligated to provide the citizens with a designated and optimum level of <br /> density, open space and quality of life. <br /> Page 4 of 5 <br /> • � <br />
