G. <br />H. <br />is only 24' in width as proposed. The adjacent house on tlie property to <br />the northeast averages 18’ from the lot line, hence the separation between <br />the structures will be maintained at approximately 26', greater separation <br />than might be obtained if all houses in the neighborhood were <br />constructed right up to the required 10' side setbacks. <br />While the lot at 8,550 s.f. and width of 46-50' is relatively small <br />compared to the 1 acre/140' standards of the LR-IB zone, other <br />developed lots in the neighborhood are of similar size. Further, the <br />property has contained a single family residence for many years and has <br />remained in single separate ownership. <br />Applicant has provided a grading and drainage plan which will <br />adequately manage the runoff from the property. Because the <br />neighboring property to the east has recently been reconstructed, the <br />opportunity exists for an appropriate drainageway to be developed along <br />the common lot line. <br />4.The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br />recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br />by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety <br />and w'elfare of the community. <br />5.The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar <br />to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that <br />granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor <br />pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely <br />serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a <br />demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial <br />property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and <br />intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />L
