The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: <br /> A. In 1991 the City Council adopted a resolution for variances to allow the <br /> existin� deck to be constructed. The resolution stated the Council would <br /> not look favorably on any future variances to increase structural lot <br /> coverage. <br /> B. The property was assessed in 1980 for one-half of a sewer unit. The lot <br /> located across the alley was assessed for the other half of a sewer unit. <br /> The property owners allowed the lot (#24) to go tax forfeit without the <br /> City recovering any of the $3,350 assessment. (�3,350 is equal to one- <br /> half of a sewer unit). <br /> C. The previous property owners of 500 Hanlon Avenue expressed interest <br /> in acquiring the tax forfeited lot to allow for the provision of building <br /> a garage in the future. The City Council adopted a resolution in 1996 <br /> to allow the property owners to have all past interest or penalties waived <br /> and pay only the uncollected principal amount of �3,350 with the <br /> condition the lot be combined with Lot 1. The property owners did not <br /> purchase and join the lot. <br /> D. Direct access for the proposed garage would be from the alley side rather <br /> than Dickenson Street. <br /> E. The property owners located at 521 Hanlon Avenue, the only adjacent <br /> property, have submitted a letter of support for the proposed plan. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existin� on this property are peculiar <br /> to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that <br /> �ranting the variances �vould not adversely affect traffic conditions, li�ht, air nor <br /> pose a fire hazard or other danger to nei�hborin� property; would not merely <br /> serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a <br /> demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial <br /> Pa�e 2 of 5 <br />
