The adjacent house on the property to � the northeast averages 18' from the lot line, hence the separation between the structures will be maintained at approxirriately 26', greater separation than might be obtained if all houses in the neighborhood were constructed right up to the required 10' side setbacks. � G. While the lot at 8,550 s.f. and width of 46-50' is relatively small compared to the 1 acre/140' standards of the LR-1B zone, other developed lots in the neighborhood aze of similar size. Further, the properry has contained a single fami.y residence for many years and has , remained in single separate ovvnership. H. Applicant has provided a grading and ,drainage plan which will adequately manage the 'runoff from the property. . Because the • neighboring property to the east has recently been reconstructed, the opporhuuty exists for an approgriate drainageway to be developed along the common lot line. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. $. 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 affect 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 hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial properry right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. • Page 3 of 6
