The proposed deck and railii^ tend to decrease what already is an exsemely small rear yird and add »the intensity of development in the area.

Lot coverage as proposed is acceptable considering the small size the lot and the fiKt tbai lot coverage will he less than die 1,500 s.f. limit for small lots. The lot b .15 acres in area and 50* in width, similar to a majority of lote in the area. The proposed improvaneiits are not inconsistent with the Navarre Heights area. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the comnninity. TTie City Council finds that the conditions exbting on this property arc peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in thb zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but b necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; b necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the appUcant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
