Malaske Variance <br />June 18, 2008 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />g. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent <br />property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger <br />of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within <br />the neighborhood. <br /> <br />The requested variance would not cause any adverse effects. <br /> <br />Based upon the review of the above criteria, it appears to staff that the requested variance <br />does satisfy the hardship and practical difficulty threshold. <br /> <br />Public Hearing: <br /> <br />As with any requested variance, a public hearing is required. Notices were mailed to all <br />property owners within 350 feet of 2551 Ridge Lane. No resident or property owner has <br />contacted staff regarding this request. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />After holding the public hearing and taking testimony from staff, the applicant and affected <br />neighbors, the Commission may take one of the following actions related to the request: <br /> <br />1. Approve the variance as requested. Resolution 888-08 is attached for the Commission’s <br />approval if that is the chosen course of action. <br /> <br />2. Deny the requested variance. To move forward with this option, the Commission should <br />direct staff to draft a resolution of denial with findings of fact appropriate to support the <br />denial. <br /> <br />3. Table the request. If additional information is needed before a decision can be rendered <br />or if more discussion is needed, the Commission can simply move to table the request <br />until such information has been provided. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Heidi Heller <br />Planning Associate <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
