Commonly knoWn as: 1318 119th P1. S.E. The Board of Adjustment, .^olloxing a public hearing on said application held on September 8, 1986 and further having revieued all testimony, makes the following Findings� Conclusions and Order: FINDINCS AND CONCLUSIONS: 1. That thare have been e�cceptional or extraordinary ci.reumst,3nces or eonditions applying to the subject property or as to the intended use thereof that d� not a{+ply generally to other properties in the same viciniLy or zone. Finding: City zontrg code deftnes "Cros� Floor Area Ratto" a� the sum of all the floors of a buil�ling divided by the tot area. The City Ceels a more reasonable way to limit lot coverage would be to consider Lhe Cootprint of the building as the basis for figuring gross floor area ratio since there is already a height limitation that controls the number of floors. In the past, the grose floor area ratio has ��ot boen uniformly enforced; however, the City feels that ratner than disregarding the code St is more appropriate to consider applications for varianee on an individual Gzsis until the zoning code is changed. In this case the Applir_ant is propo9ing a two-story house and the actual foot:print of the strucLure (1,320 sq. ft.) will cover only 24$ of the 5,606 sq. ft. lot. The lot was certifled as a nonconformi.ng lol; even though it does not mr.et minimum lot size since it was creatPA in 19i10 prior to County zonin�; and prior to annexation to the City. Cunclusiont The varianco as proposed by the qpplicant a�pears to be a reasonable request. 2. That such varianeo is necessary for the preservation und enjoyment of � ,ubstanttal property ri�ht of thc appel.tant possessed by the eNners of oCher p:�opert�ies in Lhe name vicintty or zuno.
