2. That the plight of the landowners is due to physical circumstances unique to his <br />property not created by the land owner. <br />3. That the hardship is not due to economic considerations alone and when a reasonable <br />use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance. <br />4. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special <br />privilege that would be denied by this ordinance to other lands, structures, or <br />buildings in the same district. <br />5. That the proposed actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the <br />ordinance. <br />Staff has reviewed this request and does not believe the Variance criteria can be meet in <br />this case. Mr. Lyden can construct a wood frame building, on footings without a slab, <br />that would have a similar effect to a post frame building although it may be more costly. <br />Pole buildings are not permitted on less than five acres. Over the years City Staff has <br />received numerous requests for such construction and has always discourage the Variance <br />procedure because in most cases the requests were based on the additional construction <br />costs. Additionally, in the 1997 Zoning Ordinance update the 5 acre requirement was <br />maintained. For these reasons we would recommend denial of the variance requested. <br />For P & Z and Council information, the adjoining property owners have indicated no <br />objections to the variance request. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Deny Variance as requested because the required findings are not satisfied. <br />2. Return to staff for further consideration <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Option 1 <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />
