r _ � O� � � � :: � CITY of OR4N0 . ti �� G�`'' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL 9kESIIO�' N0. �� ' . The property is located in the LR — 1B zoning district, which requires a minimum lot size of 1 acre. The subject property is 0.75 acres. 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on November 17, 2003 and recommended approval of the front yard setback variance based on the following findings: a. The nature of the existing 4/12 pitched roof causes snow loading problems, b. A new 7/12 pitched roof would allow snow to slide off the roof with greater ease, c. The steeper roof creates the need for a covered entry to minimize icy conditions and create a safer entrance. d. The existing front yard setback is non-conforming. e. The total right-of-way on Pheasant Road is excessive at 60 feet. f. There will be no negative visual impacts from the road. 4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfaze of the community. 5. 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 applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable 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.
