For the record: The staff recommendation is as follows:
Deny the requested variance of 4.5 feet from the rear yard setback requirement on the property located at 10059 French Springs based on the following findings of fact:
1. The particular physical surrounding, shape, or topographic conditions of the specific property involved would not result in a particular hardship upon the owner as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict application of this Ordinance were carried out.
2. The condition upon which the petition for variance is based would be applicable, generally, to other property within the same district.
3. The variance would confer on this applicant a special privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to other lands, structures, or building in the same district.
4. Granting the variance could be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the area in which property is located.
5. The variance could impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantially increase the congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair property values within the area.
