The proposed building location requires the removal of significantly fewer <br /> trees than potential conforming locations. <br /> , <br /> B. The proposed location would require no fill, whereas conforming locations <br /> have topography problems that would require significant amounts of fill. <br /> C. The proposed location is less visible from neighboring properties than <br /> conforming locations, and in the proposed location the building will not <br /> be visible to any existing neighboring residences in summer or winter. <br /> D. The proposed location requires significantly less additional driveway <br /> construction than conforming locations and therefore disrupts less of the <br /> • mature sugar maple, basswood and red oak forest on the site. <br /> E. The height of the proposed building will match the height of the existing <br /> house, therefore the visual intrusion of the oversized accessory structure <br /> will be minimized. <br /> F. The proposed footprint area of the structure will allow for inside storage <br /> of existing vehicles and equipment currently stored outside on the property <br /> and will therefore reduce the clutter of the site. <br /> G. The proposed structure will be located more than the required 50' from <br /> front and side lot lines, reducing its potential impact on neighboring <br /> � properties. <br /> H. The lot area is 0.14 acre short of the 4.01 acre area required to allow an <br /> 1,800 s.f. accessory structure. Under the current 2 acre zoning, the <br /> property could not be subdivided to create a new building site. <br /> 4. 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 applicants and the effect of the proposed variance .on the health, safety and <br /> welfare of the community. . � <br /> • <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> - � Fam 5005 DisX Omno <br />
