12 <br /> <br />• Lots 3 and 4: <br /> <br />o A four (4) foot variance to reduce the required lot depth from 135 feet to <br />131 feet. <br /> <br />All lot areas exceed the minimum 10,800sf. As previously noted, similar lot depth <br />variances were approved for Hailey Manor, Isabell Estates, and Golden Acre. <br /> <br />Per City Code Section 1007.018(3): <br /> <br /> (a) Criteria and findings of fact. No variance shall be granted unless it meets all the <br />criteria in divisions 1. through 6. below, or unless division 7. below applies. The city shall <br />make findings regarding compliance with these criteria. <br /> <br />1.

There shall be practical difficulties in complying with this chapter. “Practical <br />difficulties,” as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that <br />the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not <br />permitted by this chapter. Economic considerations alone do not constitute <br />practical difficulties. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, <br />inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. <br /> <br />The subdivision of an existing parcel and creation of four (4) residential lots are <br />reasonable uses of the property. The practical difficulty in complying with the lot depth, <br />lot width and setback standards of the zoning ordinance would only allow for the
