The evidence presented by the applicants demonstrates that a
1W literal enforcement of the terms of the zoning ordinance on the
property in question would impose an unnecessary hardship, in that
compliance with the terms of the ordinance would act to prevent
development of the property by denying issuance of a building
permit due to the width of the lot being less than the required
minimum of 300 feet, and that this lot is otherwise suitable far
development on the basis of area, and yard area available, and
other applicable regulations;
and that the general purpose and intent of the ordinance is to
+� *4,✓ promote and encourage compatible and desirable development
throughout the city;
aw
an
and furthermore, that special conditions and circumstances exist
which are peculiar to the land, structure(s) or buildings (s)
involved which are not applicable to other lands, structures or
buildings in the same district; and that these special conditions
and circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant(s); and that granting a variance will not confer upon the
applicant(s) any special privilege that is denied by the zoning
ordinance to other lands structures or buildings in the same
district; and furthermore, that the requirements of the zoning
ordinance regarding a variance have been met by the applicants; and
that the reasons set forth by the applicant(s) justify the granting
of a variance, which is the minimum variance that will make
possible the reasonable use of the land, structure(s) or
building(s); and finally, that granting of a variance will be in
harmony with the general purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance
and will not be injurious or otherwise detrimental to the public
welfare.
