That the specinl condiliotts or ci��crrnastances• do ��o[ restrlt from ihe actiai�s of lhe <br />applrcant. <br />While Mr. Gates is responsible for owning a vehic3e which does not conform to City <br />Code, he is attempting to correct Ehe situaiion by constructing a garage with a one-foot <br />variance in order to park the vehicle inside. <br />d. That grauting the va�iance requested will not confer on the applicant a�ty special <br />privrlege that is denred by lhis Title to owrrers uf other lands, strucltrres or btrildings in <br />Phe same district. <br />Granting this variance wi11 not confer on the applicant any special privilege, in that siaff <br />wouid instnici future applicants intent upon parlcing an oversize vehicfes within a garage <br />how to make such arrangements without the need for a variance. Because staff told NIr. <br />Crates that the truck would need to be removed after construction had aEready started an <br />the garage addition, staff cou(d not offer Mr. Gates this advice. <br />Thcrt the +�ariance regirested is lhe rrrinimz�n7 variance which woirld allevrcrte the hardship. <br />Eco��omic co�rditio�rs aloj7e shall ftpt bc corrsidered a harc�ship. <br />In order to reconfigure tf�e garage to allow for the truck to be pariced inside, the garage <br />doar will need to be made one-foot taller. Because of the added door height, the garage <br />in turn would become one foot taller. This is the minimum variance possible with keeping <br />the garage raof in line with the roof of #he home, <br />£ The variance woirld r2ot be maierially detj•imerrtal to the pzrrpose of this Title or to other <br />pt•op�rty rjr the sante zorle. <br />Granting this variance would not be detrimental to the purpose of the Zoning Cade or to <br />other properties in the neighbarhood.
