C) Applicant requests to keep the existing detached garage for storage because the existing house has only a 300 s.f. basement hence existing storage is limited. '•� D) Planning Commission finds that it is appropriate to allow applicant to keep the existing garage during construction of the � additions, but that there are no hardships demonstrated to justify retention of that detached' garage once the new attached garage is completed.

The City Council finds no hardship to justify an increase in 75- 250' hardcover, and finds that it is feasible to remove existing • hardcover so that there is no net increase. 5. The Gity Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the agplicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 6. 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 demon- strable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
