That the Applicant appeared before the Board of Appeals for a public hearing on April 28, <br />2009, and that said public hearing was properly advertised and that the minutes of said public <br />hearing are hereby incorporated as a part of these findings by reference. <br /> <br />2. That as part of the approval of the Brookfield Addition, the City Council directed Staff to <br />pursue a new alignment of 16ih Avenue NW south of the plat of Brookfield. <br /> <br />3. That the Applicant has negotiated the purchase of three parcels south of the plat of Brookfield <br />for the purposes of providing land for the 167th Avenue right-of-way to the City for City <br />Project #08-27. <br /> <br />4. That in order to convey the required right-of-way to the City, a subdivision is necessary to <br />split these existing parcels. <br /> <br />5. That the remaining portions of these three parcels, minus the necessary portions needed for <br />right of way, will remain current ownership and will conform with all other applicable <br />sections of City Code. <br /> <br />6. That Section 9.50 (Subdivision) of City Code requires that any new lots be created through <br />the platting process. <br /> <br />7. That Section 9.50.06 (Procedural Variances) establishes a process to grant a variance to <br />platting requirements, when strict compliance with these requirements may cause a practical <br />difficulty or undue hardship, provided the variance does not affect the spirit and intent of the <br />Section. <br /> <br />8. That the Applicant is requesting a Variance because the platting process causes a practical <br />difficulty in that the metes and bounds subdivision will facilitate the conveyance of the 167th <br />
