The proposed land alteration will provide more efficient treatment of run-off before it leaves the future City far ity site. c)The proposal that involves three shallow detention areas as opposed to one large detention area will allow for ease of maintenance of the treatment facility or baffle weir that eventually controls the run-off as it leaves the site. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properties; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. The City Council finds that graiicing a conditional use permit to allow the installation of three shallow detention ponds within the Type 2 designated wetlands will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the public, would not adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properties, nor will it depreciate surrounding property values and that the proposed level of use of the property will be in keeping with the intent and objectives of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
