the following findings of fact.
Board of Adiustment Findinfgs of Fact
1. Although there are no unique conditions or features of the property which is not generally
common to other properties with older platted lots in the city, it is the intent of the city to
pursue changing the ordinance to make such variance requirements unnecessary in the future.
2. The literal compliance with Sections 9-201 & 9-301 of the Zoning Ordinance would cause
unnecessary hardship given the fact that this is an existing lot of record, is substandard in lot
width and depth, and the proposed two-family dwelling cannot be constructed without a
variance.
3. The granting of the variance will not violate the spirit or the intent of this article.
4. The condition or feature which creates the need for the variance did not result from the property
owner's own actions...
5. The variance by the applicant is not solely for personal convenience, financial hardship, or
other reasons unrelated to the property.
6. The proposed use of a new two-family dwelling is a permitted use in the MF -1 Zoning
District.
