The existing deck, patio area, and plastic-lined landscape beds were constructed by a previous property owner without any apparent City approval. 4, The City Council has considered this application Including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Cciranission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant and the effect of the variances on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 5.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 aff-^jt 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 is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable h‘*dship or difficulty; is necessary to preserv ^ s jstantial property right of the applicant; i would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
