The City has approved lot width and area variances for this property in <br /> 1984 and 1986. <br /> B. The size and width of the property is similar to other developed <br /> properties in the surrounding neighborhood. <br /> , C. There is no adjacent undeveloped land available to increase lot area or <br /> lot width. <br /> J�. A bluff has been located in the south yard. The proposed structure will <br /> be located 36' from the top of the bluff where the Code requires a 30' <br /> setback. <br /> E. Excavations to create a walkout will encroach 3' into the bluff impact <br /> • zone. Ceil Strauss of the DNR in a letter dated April 12, 1996 advises <br /> that the final elevations will actually slow down surface runoff providing <br /> temporary ponding and reducing potential for erosion. In her letter, Ms. <br /> � Strauss approves the proposed grading plan. <br /> 4. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar <br /> to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that <br /> granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor <br /> pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely <br /> serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a <br /> demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial <br /> property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and <br /> intent of the Zoning Code and Compreherisive Plan of the City. <br /> 5. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br /> recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br /> by the applicant and the�effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and <br /> welfare of the community. <br /> • Page 2 of 5 . <br />
