Gramstad Homes CC, August 1, 1994 Page 3 . Commission also added a condition to the preliminary plat requiring the City Attorney to review the "Association" documents. One resident expressed concern regarding possible increased noise from the railroad tracks since trees would be removed for this project. It was the Planning Commission's opinion that the proposed duplexes would act as a better sound barrier than the removed trees. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the variance to the minimum lot size based on the following findings: 1. Literal enforcement of the ordinance would cause hardship since the provisions of the ordinance is maintained because the net average lot size of 7,670 square feet exceeds the City's minimum standards. In addition, the hardship is a competitive factor against similarly situated properties and is a serious error in the ordinance. . 2. Reducing the individual lot size does not increase the density of the development. 3. The variance will not be injurious or adversely affect the health, safety, or welfare of the residents of the City or the neighborhood in which the property is situated and will be keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. Staff also recommends approval of the conditional use permit for a zero lot line development with the following conditions: 1. ALL COMMON WALLS BE CONSTRUCTED TO MEET THE SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS AS SET FORTH IN THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE. 2. A LANDSCAPED BERM BE IMPLEMENTED ALONG MEADOWV ALE ROAD. Staff also recommends approval of the preliminary plat for Gramstad Homes with the following conditions: 1.
