(d) The subject property is a corner lot of unusual shape.
This shape, combined with the front yard setbacks required, creates an
encroachment of 1 .85 feet, that is under 5 square feet in area in comparison
to a total rear yard area of approximately 935 square feet.
(e) Only the extreme northeast corner of the home encroaches
into the required setback; the remainder of the home exceeds the setbacks.
(f) The square footage of the lot is greater than most others
in the tract and helps to mitigate the reduced setback.
(g) The separation between homes on Lots 39 and 40 is 5 feet
greater than the minimum separation required.
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 regulations 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.
(d) That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a
grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other
properties classified in the same district.
(e) That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental
to the public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious to properties
or improvements in the vicinity.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs
1 , 2, and 3 above, this Commission hereby approves the application.
5 . The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption
of this Resolution.
