Approval of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of the <br /> Applicants' right to use the property for a single-family dwelling with a minimum <br /> sized two-car garage. <br /> h. Allowing the site to continue to be used for single-family purposes will not impair the <br /> health, safety or morals of the community. <br /> i. Granting of the variances is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable difficulty (e.g. <br /> conforming expansion of the home with safe ingress/egress for vehicles). <br /> j. The proposed driveway width and configuration (including a turnaround) is <br /> appropriate given the lack of on-street parking in the area, and is necessary to avoid <br /> undocumented hardcover from being created by vehicles leaving the paved surface. <br /> 8. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br /> recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the <br /> Applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variances on the health, safety <br /> and welfare of the community. <br /> 9.
