Planning Commissioners Ritchie and DeTora addressed the Council stating the
commission's reasoning for denial of this variance.
Itwas moved by Councilman Hunter, second by Councilman Taylor to concur with the
Planning Commission decision to deny variance No, 82 with negative findings 1-3-:
1) The granting of the Variance will constitute a speciai ptivi3'e4e'far th4s land
owner, because the other lots in this area and in the R-l zone have not been"
"
allowed this undersized development. The subject lot may be developed with
two homes.
2) Granting of such a Variance will be unfair to owners who remain subject to the
general restrictions of the zoning ordinance, and it would endanger the
community plan by piece-meal exemption..
3) The applicant has not shown any special circumstances applicable to this property
either in the size, shape or the topography that would call for a special
variance that is not unique to the surrounding property. It is the burden of
the applicant to show that some special circumstance of his land restricts
him from developing it to what the zoning calls for and he has not done this.
