NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the application for Variance VN99-1 is hereby
approved based on the following Findings of Fact:
1. That the rear yard setback of 15 feet of applicant's lot abuts a side yard of an
adjacent property with a zero setback.
2. That the unusual configuration of four adjacent lots without separation of alleys or
street substantially diminish the planning purpose of setbacks and create a
hardship for building improvements not contemplated or intended in the
enforcement of the applicable ordinance setback requirements.
3. That the existing structure on the lot adjacent to the rear of the applicant's
property is within one foot of the lot line.
Adopted this 20th day of April, 1999.
