#761 - Douglas Smith September. 13, 1983 Page 2 What is the total area of Lots 16 & 17? Where is the principal structure on combined Lots 16 & 17 in relation to the shared lot line between Lots 17 & 18? What is the setback from that line? is a lot line rearrangement feasible? Would a lot line rearrangement bring their property into size and width conformance with the surroundino_ properties? Review Exhibit A. Is this lot consistent with the pattern of surrounding developed lots? Sewer and water are available to the property but Lot 18 never received a unit assessment, only footage charge If it is the Planning Conunission's opinion that this additional informa- tion is not necessary because the existing ordinances clearly define your course of action, finding combined Lots 16 & 17 will not provide adequate area or width for Lot 18 to satisfy 100% of the standards of the LR-lC zoning district. Planning Commission may act to deny the application finding the following standards cannot be upheld for approval of this variance: a) the special conditions applying to the structure of land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property; and b) the conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located; and c) the granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant; and d) the granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code; and e) that the granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty. And direct Council to call for a moratorium on all lot area and lot width variances involving common ownership question until the City's study s completed and amendment of ordinances determined. If Planning Commission is of they oF.inion that there is sufficient information available to act on the application, you may consider the following findings: 1. No available land - loth developed on either side 2. Sewer and water are available: 3. House and improvements to be constructed without the need of additional variances 4. Applicant purchased property not knowing of ordinance limitations on development. of Lot 14.8.
