Financial hardship or inconvenience shall not be a reason for granting a variance. Financial hardship or inconvenience does not appear to be a factor with regard to this variance request. The topography of the land has resulted in a parcel which fails to meet the minimum required buildable area and consequently, generated the need for a variance. E. Other nonconforming land use or structures within the district shall not be considered grounds for granting a variance. This condition has been met. There are no other nonconforming lots and structures associated with or being compared to this project. F. A variance shall be the minimum variance necessary to permit the reasonable use of the land or structure. This condition has been met. Based on the site plan submitted by the applicant and a field investigation of the site, staff has concluded that the applicants request to reduce the minimum buildable lot size requirement, reduce the front yard setback to 10 feet and allow for the required off-street parking to be provided in the proposed two car garage appears to be the minimum variance necessary to allow for the development of a single-family home on the property. G. A variance shall not be granted which will permit a land use in a district in which that use is otherwise prohibited. This condition has been met. The proposed single family residence is allowed outright within the DR district. Section 2. Based on the findings and conclusions established in Section 1, the Planning and Zoning Commission hereby authorizes the Community Development Department to issue Spinell Homes, Inc. a variance permit to waive the minimum buildable lot size requirement for development on Lot 9A and lOA, Park Place Subdivision, reduce the front yard setback to ten feet and allow the required off-street parking to be provided in the proposed two car garage. The permit shall be subject to the following condition: The owner of the property shall provide the required off street parking in conformance with the Seward Zoning Code by designating and maintaining two parking spaces within the first floor garage. Section 3. This resolution shall take effect 10 days after its approval. PASSED AND APPROVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission this 3rd day of November, 1999.
