You may review 37.100 that gives the <br />standards for required screening fences. Although it would appeal, <br />per ordinance 37.090,a screening fence is not required for this <br />property. Review Exhibit B again. <br />37.090. Screening Required. Screening shall be required in <br />residential zones where: <br />any off-street parking area which contains more than four <br />parking spaces and is within 30 feet of an adjoining residential <br />lot line, and <br />b) where the driveway to a parking area of more than six parking <br />spaces is within 15 feet of an adjoining residential lot line. <br />If we are to grant a variance, what are the hardships claimed of <br />the applicant. On the application, deMalignon claims the following: <br />"...we would have to destroy almost one-half the area of our extensively <br />landscaped front yard garden- -it is unreasonable to have our <br />garden destroyed for no practical reason." <br />Remember, a hardship must be a unique feature or physicial <br />characteristic related to the property. Can you make the following <br />fxnaings: <br />The special conditions applying to the structure or land in <br />question are peculiar to such property or immediately surrounding <br />property and do not apply generally to other land or structures <br />in the district in which said land is located. <br />The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation <br />and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. <br />The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair <br />the public health, safety, .comfort, morals or general welfare. <br />#720 - January Page 3 <br />The <br />to <br />Zon <br />The <br />con <br />dem <br />If the <br />on the <br />that ev <br />of way <br />If the <br />Options <br />a) App; <br />plai <br />b) App: <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />4.
