<br />8. That the Applicant has submitted a site plan depicting the Applicant's preferred location, <br />herein attached as Exhibit A. <br /> <br />9. That Applicant has stated that the Subject Property is approximately one acre, as are almost <br />all the surrounding parcels. <br /> <br />10. That the Applicant has stated that the neighborhood's essential character is one which <br />almost all homes have been built in ways to maximize tree preservation. <br /> <br />11. That the Applicant has stated that City Code is intended for much smaller, conventional <br />quarter acre lots. City Code ~117-349 (Accessory Uses and Buildings) states that any <br />accessory building must be located in the side or rear yard on parcels less than two acres. <br />The City finds that City Code was not intended for smaller lots as referenced by the <br />Applicant, and applies to the Subject Property. . <br /> <br />12. That the Applicant has stated that the rear of the Subject Property has always been low- <br />lying land and will occasionally collect water. The City finds that it appears that the change <br />in grade in the rear of the Subject Property is approximately four (4) feet. <br /> <br />13. That the Applicant has stated that the Variance is needed to preserve several 60-70 year old, <br />mature, and highly desirable red oak and cedar trees. The Applicant states that removal of <br />these trees harms the essential character of the neighborhood, reduce the property value of <br />the Subject Property, and would not be appreciated by adjacent neighbors. <br /> <br />14. The Applicant has stated that the Variance is needed due to the location of the current <br />residential dwelling unit, set back close to the rear property line, as are many other <br />structures on adjoining properties. The Applicant has further stated that the Structure would <br />be more visible to adjoining property owners ifthe Structure were located in the rear yard. <br /> <br />15. That the Applicant has stated that the Variance is needed because the Subject Property is <br />almost completely (90%) screened on all sides by existing younger Cedar, Oak, and <br />evergreen trees. The Applicant has stated that if built as proposed, the Structure should be <br />minimally visible and existing and future tree plantings will screen the structure from all <br />neighbors even more effectively than existing foliage does now. <br /> <br />16. That the Applicant has stated that the Structure will be built to match existing siding <br />. (HardiPlank) and roofing (GAF Weather-Wood) of the existing residential dwelling and the <br />color of the siding (HardiPlank Khaki) will blend in well with three-tone colors of <br />surrounding foliage to make the building unobtrusive. <br /> <br />17. That the Applicant has stated that the Structure will be able to house/store maintenance <br />tools, mowers, repair block, etc. that are now stored outside as the Applicant currently has <br />no place to store these items. <br /> <br />18. That the Applicant has stated that the Variance is warranted because, as indicated on the lot <br />survey, the proposed location is the best location to build the Structure as it is well drained, <br />preserves mature trees, and should be minimally visible from any neighbor's lot. <br /> <br />RESOLUTION #10-02-036 <br />Page 2 of7 <br />
