accordance with the plans and application received by the City on March 9, 2007, except as
amended by this resolution.
2. The variances are approved with the findings that the applicable variance standards are met, as
follows:
a. The lot is long and narrow and redevelopment of this in -fill property is complicated by the
applicant's ability to provide the necessary building to drive -aisle setback, the minimum
drive aisles around the building and maintain a landscaped area between the drive-through
and the shared private drive.
b. The narrow width of the lot is not typical among C-3 zoned lots.
c. The variation would not increase the value or income potential of the parcel.
d. Granting the variance would not alter pedestrian safety at the building entrance.
