The residence was located on the <br />property prior to the 150' setback requirement for Lake Classen. <br />B.The pool would be located above the hill and would be well above the <br />flood plain or areas affected by the OHWL of Lake Classen. <br />C.Placing the pool behind the principal residence would not function well <br />as it would be located in the front of the house towards the street. <br />Typically, pools would be located behind the house in a back yard. <br />Also, the street yard is the site of the septic system and alternate site, <br />leaving no other reasonable location for the pool. <br />D.The gazebo and dense vegetation would screen the pool from view to <br />adjacent residences. <br />The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are <br />peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning <br />district; that granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic <br />Paae 2 of 6
