2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created <br />by the landowner. <br />The property is undersized for the zoning district. The applicants are limited to constructing <br />the garage in the proposed area. Moving the garage to another area of the property would <br />cause the lot to exceed hardcover requirements. The City’s Building Official recommended <br />at least a 3' setback from the lot line due to the distance between the neighboring garage and <br />the proposed garage. <br />3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. <br />Other properties located around the subject lot generally have a detached garage located <br />behind the residence. The new garage will not change the appearance of the neighborhood <br />or negatively impact neighboring residences. <br />4. <br />6. <br />7. <br />Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable <br />use for the property exists under the terms of this chapter. <br />Economic factors are not a consideration with this application. <br />The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance <br />for any use that is not permitted under this Chapter for the property in the zone where <br />the affected person's land is located. <br />The use of the property would remain residential with a garage as a permitted use. <br />The special conditions applying to the structure of land in question are peculiar <br />to such property or immediately adjoining prop* *ty. <br />The property was platted well before the current zoning regulations, resulting in the property <br />not conforming with standards. The size of the lot has limited the applicant's options for <br />placing the garage elsewhere on the lot. Also, the applicant has proposed to remove <br />hardcover to avoid exceeding the allowed hardcover on the lot. <br />The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment <br />of a substantial property right of the applicant. <br />Garages are permitted as accessory buildings in the LR-IC Zoning District. <br />1^2407 Lane and Kelly Moore <br />3438 Lhfingston Avenue <br />Variance <br />8^17/98 <br />Page 4
