<br /> Page 2 of 5 <br />findings and hardships: <br /> <br /> A.Because of the curvature of the shoreline and the angle of the residence on the <br />property, the deck will not be visible from the public view of the French Lake <br />shoreline. <br /> <br /> B.French Lake is not used by public boaters. <br /> <br /> C.The deck cannot be seen from the residences on the adjacent properties because of <br />the distance between residences, topography and natural screening. <br /> <br /> D.The deck at approximately 310 s.f. will be placed over 95 s.f. of existing hardcover <br />improvements. <br /> <br /> E.Only a corner of the deck will extend 131' to the Ordinary High Water Level of the <br />shoreline of French Lake. The majority of the deck will be placed behind the <br />131' setback. <br /> <br /> F.The interior layout of the upper level of the residence and the uses at the lower level <br />limit feasible areas for extending deck. <br /> <br /> G.The majority of the residence is located within the 150' structural setback. <br /> <br /> 4.The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do <br />not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance <br />would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other <br />danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the <br />applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary <br />to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with <br />the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />
