PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 89-17 VAR 88-27 - CASTLE January 25, 1989 Page 2 (d) The closest point of the addition to the south property line will be five (5) feet, which is the closest point of construction allowable in the Low Residential District and existing residences in the neighborhood, and will run only 24 feet of the 110 .46 feet along the southern boundary of the lot. (f) Due to the triangular shape of the lot, the north side of the residence maintains an average setback of approximately 20 feet, even though the setback is 6 feet at the closest point along the north property line. (g) The existing layout of the house lends itself to a family room addition in a southerly direction. 3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above-referenced public hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows: (a) That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code. (b) That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same district. (c) That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district.

Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above, this commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth below.
