JF RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. 5647 <br />The Planning Commission reviewed this application on May 21, 2007 and on a <br />vote of 5 - 0 recommended approval of the variances, based on the following <br />findings: <br />a. The lot was created before there were subdivision regulations. <br />b. A house had existed on the property since 1972. <br />C. While the Owner does own the adjacent lot at 1348 Rest Point Circle, <br />this property was purchased by the previous owner in October, 2006, to <br />allow a coordinated redevelopment with the 1348 property. Prior to <br />that the lots had been in separate ownership for many years and there <br />was a house on each lot. <br />d. The proposed house would not be out of character with the surrounding <br />area. <br />e. The angled driveway arrangement requires more hardcover than a <br />straight driveway but provides for better drainage and allows the front <br />door to be visible from the street. <br />4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br />recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br />by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the <br />health, safety and welfare of the community. <br />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 <br />nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not <br />merely serve as a convenience to the Owner but necessary to alleviate a <br />demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial <br />property right of the Owner; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent <br />of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
