This land is very unusual in that it was built from sheet piling which was filled and it protrudes into the bay and does not have adjoining land on three sides. In addition, the City's dock wraps around the North and West sides and is a contiguous surface. 3. The special conditions and circumstances have not been caused by actions of the applicant; Finding: This condition has been met. The applicants are located on an unusual parcel which protrudes into the Bay and does not have neighboring properties on three sides. 4. Financial hardship or inconvenience shall not be a reason for granting a variance; Finding: This condition has been met. The setbacks do not serve their usual purposes for this property, due to the lack of adjacent properties. 5. Other nonconforming land use or structures shall not be a reason for granting a variance; Finding: This condition has been met. Consideration of other nonconforming land uses or structures has not been a factor in the review of this application. 6. A variance shall be the minimum variance necessary to permit the reasonable use of the land or structure; Finding: This condition has been met. The encroachment in the front yard setback on the East side of the property shall not be allowed to remain there. 7. A variance shall not be granted which will permit a land use in a district in which that use is otherwise prohibited. Finding: This condition has been met. The structural additions are common and necessary for fish processing operations. Section 2. The Planning and Zoning Commission hereby grants a variance to Polar Equipment, Inc., dba Polar Seafoods located at Lot 2, Block 9, Fourth of July Creek Subdivision, Seward Marine Industrial Center in the Industrial (I) Zoning District, subject to allow the freezer unit to be emplaced in the North setback to within less than a foot of the lot line and to allow the ice house and grinder/pit to remain in the South setback subject to the following conditions: 1. All the abandoned vehicles, RVs and the other trash and junk on the areas leased from the City shall be removed. 2. All encroachments shall be removed from the utility easement and from around the transformer. ,..\\\~!HU'''t, ~'~<,",'1 =dO :..~. ~t.'~~~':~'lr~:'-::~~ " :: ~'.'1."ro IV-?.....IS\ ':. ::..' ~". ~ =! -- \:. 58: rn..71:rS ie: _ . ~va . _ ': \^" ---~; :: .-,~ ... -; C) "';(~ .,' ,: <;.> ~I ..... ~. t"-..<l~.: # "'/i .. }-.."Fs ~'''~' i13S::.\0 \\~.... ~ '''''II~''\\ tJULPtj! )fl;lIJ Al!J ?p/II/AJllrtJ ~UUI?V/ or "~M"'1 YY~f 'l/0 :.LS::>I.L.LV ;lUON 1!;l)I ;lUON Ip!WS ',lplW1.[ 'Il{oH 'pqollS ')flBI;) 'UOSl;lPUV :NIVlSHV :lN3SHV :S30N :S3AV -dftq~ ~,~ ..~ ~,;yyJ , .
