City <br />Council is ezpected to take f:[nal action on the propoaed <br />ordinance changes ia mid-Noveciber. If they concur wlth <br />the Plaaning Commiaeioa's recommendation, the applicant <br />would be able to obtain building permits for these plane <br />as related to groae floor areu ratio and height without <br />obtaining a variance. <br />2. Conclusion: There are ezceptional circusetancea in <br />regard to the propoeed height of the atructure eince <br />proposed code changes would allow thie height in the near <br />!:uture. <br />Criterion f2: That such variance ie neceseary for the preeervation and <br />� enjoyment of a aubetantial property right of the <br />appellant poeseeaed by ehe ownera of other propertiea ia <br />the same viciaity or zone. <br />A.

Conclueion: It would be reasonable to allow a variance <br />for rear eetback since that area of thie proposal vill <br />fuaction as a eide yard. <br />C. Groea Floor Area Ratio: <br />1. Findings: Other lots in this vicinity are much larger <br />and eo can have larger homes without ezceeding the groae <br />floor area tatio, and the Board hae granted other <br />variancea for grosa floor area ratio. <br />2.
