Resolution 2002- 14 <br />Page 2 <br />With regard to the setback variances, at the time the proposed lot was created, the <br />setback was 10 feet. As such the hardship is a result of a change in the ordinance <br />and was not created by the applicant. <br />d. The property can not be put to reasonable use without the granting of the <br />variance. <br />The property is planned and zoned for residential use. The applicant is proposing <br />to construct a garage larger than that permitted by the ordinance for the storage of <br />personal belongings. <br />e. The variance, if granted, would not alter the essential character of the locality in <br />which it would be located. <br />The proposed attached garage would contain two levels. Therefore, the garage <br />addition would not alter the character of this neighborhood (see attached building <br />elevations). Four neighboring property owners spoke at the public meeting <br />indicating that they had no objections to the variance. Several residents <br />commented that they did not believe the larger garage would negatively impact <br />the neighborhood. <br />f. The variance, if granted shall not have the effect of allowing, in any district, any <br />use prohibited in the district. <br />Attached garages are allowed in the residential zoning district. <br />g. The variance, if granted, shall not permit a lower degree offlood food protection than <br />required by the ordinance. <br />The proposed home and attached garage would not be within a designated <br />floodplain. <br />h. The sewage treatment system and water system of the subject property is in <br />compliance with city and state codes. <br />The proposed home and attached garage would be served by a private well septic <br />system. <br />ADOPTED by the City Council on April 15, 2002. <br />I .on, Mayor <br />ATTEST: <br />Mary & Creager, City CleV <br />
