WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed said request at a duly called public meeting

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY

2. Approval of the site plan is contingent upon approval for the wetland exemption.
3. Variances are approved to allow a setback of 10 feet from the proposed parking to the side

where 50 feet is required, based on the finding that:

(a) The existing conditions of the property result in a particular hardship to the owner, if the
strict letter of the regulations were to be carried out. The parcel shape is unique due to
the irregular shape of the two existing lots, which was created prior to the current owner.
Both lots are narrow and the lot to the south has a shallow depth which reduces the
usability of the property. Requiring the applicant to meet the setbacks would limit the
use of the site.
(b) The conditions for the variance are unique as the property would be a redevelopment
project Typically, redevelopment of existing sites requires variances to allow
construction of a new property. In addition, the applicant is consolidating two smaller
properties, one of which is a 100 -foot wide land locked parcel which would not be useful
other than for parking and in combination with the adjacent parcel.
(c) The purpose of the variance is not based exclusively upon a desire to increase the value
or income potential of the parcel of land. The variance request is necessary to allow
redevelopment of the site. The proposed building meets all other setbacks.
(d) The circumstances surrounding the variance request were not self-created, but rather
were an existing condition from when the property was platted, prior to the current
owners.
(e) The proposed improvements would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to other land in the neighborhood. The proposed setback would still provide some
separation between the parking and lot line. As this is a redevelopment lot, allowing the
proposed variation would allow improvement of the property.
(f) The proposed improvements would not impair an adequate supple of light and air to
adjacent property, endanger public safety, increase congestion of the public streets,
increase the danger of fire or substantially diminish property values in the neighborhood.
The redevelopment of this lot would improve the appearance of the property.
(g) The requested variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the hardship
4. A fire lane variance for the north side of building is hereby approved, subject to the following:
The entire building shall be protected by a Cite approved NFPA 13 automatic fire
sprinkler system.
Approved Fire Department standpipes shall be located in approved locations in the
building.
