Chairman Shumway suggested deleting Item #9 from the findings of fact regarding the granting of the variance not being materially detrimental to the purposes of the zoning chapter. Commissioner Zimmerman suggested that the finding be amended to read that the granting of the variance may be detrimental to the purposes of the zoning chapter. Chairman Shumway stated that granting a variance with no proof of hardship is detrimental to the purposes of the zoning chapter.
