Resolution 2001- 68 Page 2 The applicant has attempted to minimize the extent of the encroachment by constructing a twelve -foot wide deck. Further, the deck would not encroach into the six-foot drainage and utility easement. d. The property cannot be put to reasonable use without the granting of the variance. The property is planned and zoned for residential use. The applicant is proposing to add a deck to the south side of the home adjacent to an existing sliding glass door. e. The variance, if granted, would not alter the essential character of the locality in which it would be located. The proposed deck is consistent with the essential character of this residential area. While the deck would encroach into the required setback, the deck is relatively small and would not represent a significant encroachment. f. The variance, if granted shall not have the effect of allowing, in any district, any use prohibited in the district. Decks are permitted in this residential zoning district. g. The variance, if granted, shall not permit a lower degree of flood protection than required by the ordinance. The proposed deck would not be within a designated floodplain. h. The sewage treatment system and water system of the subject property is in compliance with city and state codes. The proposed deck would not require any improvements to the municipal water and sewer systems that serve this property. ADOPTED by the City Council on November 5, 2001.
