Board of Ad'ustment Recommended Findings 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 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 the
proposed single-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 single-family dwelling is a permitted use in the SF -2 Zoning
District.
This decision was filed in the Board's office on 2/1/2022.
