EXHIBIT g 3 VARIANCES VIA INDIVIDUAL LOT MERIT - LOTS IN SEWERED AREAS There exists numerous zoning file cases that evidence the Council's meticulous and judicious application of the zoning standards but one stands out as being recent and similar to the current application. By resolution * 1719 granting the following variances to municipal zoning code section 10.25, subdivision 6 (B) the council appeared to establish the reasonable procedure of approving lots on individual merit. It approved lots that (1) were at least 55' in width and (2) were 77% of the required square footage, and (3) were in sewered LR-IC single family lakeshore residential zoning districts. The Council noted uniquely important detail such as the property is consistent in area with other developed lots and approximates the narrowest -lots �in-the neighborhood. In summary, the Council acted on the following Planning Commission findings: a) No available land on either side of property. b) The property is sewered and watered. c) Additional variances would not, be needed. d) No negative effects on public health, safety, and welfare. e) The variance is consistent with the area's development. f) No future need for hardcover and setback variances. g) The conditions of the land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. h) The conditions do not apply generally to other land in district. i) Granting of the application is necessary for the preservation aid enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. j) Granting the variances will iAnt in anyway impair the health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any .ether respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code. k) Granting of the proposed variances will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty. The City Council is to be commended for acting in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. Without including unnecessary detail at this point, suffice it to say the Council's Conclusions, Orders and Conditions were appro priately comprehensive and considered.
