Lot 3. Plat of Creatxood ��'" Eo�e.�•ro�c �,�. <br /> t <br /> The Board of Ad,justment, Following a public hearing on said application held <br /> on Jul�r 7, 15�86, and furcher having reviewed all testimony, makea the , <br /> � folloxing Ftndings, Conelusion� and Order: <br /> i <br /> FZNDINGS AND CONCLUS.'_ONS: <br /> I <br /> ' 1. That there have been exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or <br /> conditions applying to the subject property or as to the intended use <br /> ; thereof that do not apply generally to other properties in the ssime <br /> � vieinity or zona. <br /> I <br /> � FindinR: City zoning code defines "Gross Floor Area Aatio" as the <br /> sum of all the floors of a building divided by the lot area. The <br /> City feels a more reasonable way to limit lot coverage would be to <br /> consider the footprint of the building as the basis "or figuring <br /> gross floor area ratio since there is already a height limitation <br /> 'I that controls the number of floors. Ir. the past, the gross floor <br /> !; area ratio has not been uniformly enforced; hoxever, the City feels ' <br /> ,i that rather than disregarding the cude it is more aprropriate to <br /> ;� cousider applications for variance on an individual b�sis until the � <br /> i zoning code is changed. <br /> „ In addition, over 50;L of the lots in this plat are much larger than <br /> ; Lot #3 and so Would allow a muct� larger home without exceeding the <br /> gross floor area ratio. ' <br /> � Conclusion: The variance as proposad by the Applicant appears to be <br /> a reasonable request. <br /> 2. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and en,joyment of <br /> a suostantial property right of the appellant possessed by the owners <br /> ' of other properties in the same vicinity or zone. <br /> Finding: The Board of Ad,justment ha.� grsnted other requests for <br /> variance from gross floor area ratio and the City will continue to <br /> recommend doing 3o until tee zoning code i.s changed. <br /> Conclusion: The varlance would allow a property right possessed by <br /> other owners. <br /> i <br /> 2661F <br />
