Motion x The Council decision of August 23, 1976 was modified, Ayes K x x x X and Variance No. 1653 was approved with the findings Absent x and conditions: Findings: • 1. That the requested variance is not required at the street elevation, but rather toward the rear of the building due to the steep topography of the site. The greatest building height does not occur at the ridge of the roof, but rather at the southeast corner of the save which is 30' above grade. 2. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applying to the land referred to in the application, which circumstances or conditions do not apply generally to land in the same zoning district. These exceptional or extraordinary circumstances are caused by the steep topography of the site which drops abruptly from north to south and somewhat less steeply from west to east. 3. That the granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a sub- stantial property right of the applicant. That except for the steep topography, the requested variance and modification would not be required and the building could have been built as a matter of right. That the granting of the re- quested variance and modification will permit the applicant to utilize 38 percent of the buildable width of the lot not otherwise buildable under the strict application of the zoning ordinance.

That the proposed garage structure will maintain a one -story elevation along Kings Road, similar to the other structures existing along the southerly side of the street, and therefore will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, materially affect adversely the health or safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the property of the applicant and will not under the circumstance of the particular case be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood. The average height and ridge height of the garage across the front elevations fall within the requirements of the code and the side yard setback meets the City's Code requirement. 5. That the establishment, maintenance or operation of the detached garage on the front one -half of the lot will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use or be detrimental or in- jurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or the general welfare of the City and further that the proposed modification is consistent with the legislative intent of Title 20 of this Code in that the steep topography of the site precludes the placement of the garage on the rear one -half of the lot and further that the location of the garage on the rear one -half would constitute a greater view obstruction. Conditions: 1. That the height of the subject garage shall be lowered a minimum of 20 inches. 2. That the height shall be no greater than is necessary to permit reasonable entrance by the recreation vehicle. Such height to be deter- mined by the building official. 3.
