2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created <br />by the landowner. <br />The house was constructed on the zoning lot in a fashion that makes locating an accessory <br />structure that meets zoning requirements difficult. The portion of the property abutting the <br />street is a long, relatively narrow strip. The location of the residence prohibits locating the <br />structure on either side of the existing residence, or expanding the existing attached garage. <br />3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. <br />The variance for locating an accessory structure nearer the front lot line than the principal <br />structure will not change the character of the area. <br />The variance for side setback may change the character of the area as the garage would be <br />located 5’ from the side lot line and would encroach 5' into the 10' drainage and utility <br />easement running along the east side lot line. <br />4. 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 \ ’rson's land is located. <br />A garage for storage purposes of the proposed size is permitted in this zoning district. <br />5. The special conditions applying to the structure of land in question are peculiar <br />to such property or immediately adjoining property <br />The subject property does not meet lot width requirement. The existing residence <br />is locate^ ’ in the portion of the primary building area that is located nearest the street. The <br />survey of the property (Attachment G) demonstrates this lot configuration. Constructing <br />the garage in a viable location that meets all zoning requirements would be difficult. <br />6. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district <br />in which said land is located. <br />Most lots in the area meet lot width requirements and are generally rectangular. <br />112343 Tim and Bonnie Johnson <br />627 Ferndale Road Sorth <br />Variances <br />March 16. 1998 <br />Page 3
