WHEREAS, the Applicants wish to construct on the Subject Property a detached garage

district; and
WHEREAS, the zoning ordinance also requires that a variance be granted in order to
reduce any required front yard setback; and
WHEREAS, this matter was reviewed by the planning commission at its meeting on
August 11, 1998 and by the city council at its meeting on September 1, 1998; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that the variance requested by the Applicants is
justified based on the hardships present on the Subject Property.
