The one <br />precaution with variance requests is to act reasonably and with sound <br />findings to prevent setting a precedent for future requests. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval based on <br />the following findings: <br /> <br />1. The intent of the minimum lot standards set forth in the Al zoning <br />district is to allow large lot (10 acre) subdivisions with a density of one <br />unit per forty (40) acres. Literal enforcement of the lot area <br />requirement in this particular case would go beyond the intent of the <br />ordinance. <br /> <br />2. The variance of one-quarter of an acre on a ten (10) acre parcel can <br />virtually go unnoticed and alleviate the hardship of excluding right of <br />way, which is particular to large, unplatted tracts of land. <br /> <br />3. Literal application of the ordinance would deprive the applicant full <br />use of the property while keeping within the intent of the ordinance. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />4. <br /> <br />The property owner originally purchased the forty (40) acre parcel <br />which happened to include the right of way, making it a nominal <br />thirty-nine (39) plus or minus acre parcel for subdivision <br />considerations. <br /> <br />5. The variance will have no impact or adversely affect the health, safety, <br />or welfare of the community and will be in keeping with the spirit of <br />the ordinance. <br /> <br />\. <br /> <br />e <br />
