The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but <br /> is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty.The property owner has an open permit <br /> to build a new home meeting all pervious variance criteria and city code requirements. <br /> The addition of a chimney for a wood burning fireplace is not necessary to alleviate a <br /> practical difficulty and would merely serve 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 /> Public Comments <br /> The applicant has submitted neighbor acknowledgement signatures from the two abutting <br /> neighbors.
