There is no hardship for granting the wetland setback variance, and the <br /> proposed structure should be reduced to 18'x24' and must meet the 26' <br /> wetland setback. <br /> B. The hardship for approval of the 1' street setback is that the pre-existing <br /> garage which has been located at this site for many years cunently <br /> encroaches 2.8' into the right-of-way of Ferndale Road, and the new <br /> garage will eliminate this encroachment. <br /> C. The hardship supporting the location nearer the street lot line than the <br /> existing residence structure is the orientation of the property and the <br /> proximity of the proposed garage location to the lakeshore, providing <br /> applicant with storage for lake oriented equipment at a location relatively <br /> nearer the lakeshore than the existing residence. <br /> 4. The City Council has reviewed the proposal and finds that a garage no larger <br /> than 12' x 15' is appropriate given the severe limitations of the site, and that such <br /> garage should meet the 26' wetland setback and meet a 7' setback from the right- <br /> of-way. <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 /> 6. 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 variance 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 Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br /> d <br />
