�-��O C ITY OF ORQNO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL y`��,, �,G`�` N o. 6 6 2 6 kESHO� 5. "The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling."This criterion is not applicable. 6. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property." The nearly conforming, yet substandard lot area of the Property is not uncommon in the surrounding neighborhood. The orientation of the proposed home resulting in the front and rear setback variances will maintain character of the immediate neighborhood. 7. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located." The Property is unique in location and configuration. The variances will allow conformance with the neighborhood character. 8. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicanY'. The requested variances to allow redevelopment of the Property are reasonable and necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the Applicant. 9. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair heatth, safety, comfort or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter." Granting the requested variances will allow for the character of the neighborhood to be maintained, will not adversely impact health, safety, comfort, or morals; nor will it be contrary to the intent of the Code. 10. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty." The size of the Property; the corner lot configuration; orientation of the adjacent homes create practical difficulties affecting the Property; the variances are necessary and will not merely serve as a convenience to the Applicant.
