the required 751 to 55.541 and 55.46' at 2770 and 2760 Laurel Ave.

CASE# 322-BA
Applicant is requesting a variance from the required lot width of 75-ft.
for lots zoned GC -MD (General Commercial -Multiple Family Dwelling) to 55-
ft.
The. Planning Commission gave conditional approval of the subdivision of
a 110-ft. wide tract into two 55-ft. lots at 2760 and 2770 Laurel on
May 4, 1987 (lots l and 2, Laurel Plaza), contingent upon approval of
the requested. variance.
The two proposed lots will exceed the minimum lot area requirement by
2,520 sq. ft. The GC -MD (General Comercial-Multiple Family Dwelling)

10,120 sq. ft. each.

RE: W. 110' OF TRACT 7 - NOAH TEVIS SURVEY - ABSTRACT 52
My request for a variance on this Sub -division of two (2) 55' Lots
is due to the change, in the Zoning Ordinance after this tract (lot)
was improved in 1975.
Originally this property, when: improved, was Zone C-2 (enclosure)
I
and required a minimum 251 lot width per building. A 55' Lot
width was provided.
The lots should have been divided upon completion of each building
in 1975; however, due to a lack of a buyer, was not done then, and
the building was rented.
Today, this property has no opportunity to meet the 751 minimum
width required in the new zoning designation of G.C, as all ad-
joining property is improved.,
Yours truly,
xV, xlz4 ,

CASE+ 322-BA
The Board of Adjustment is empowered to authorize a variance from a require-
ment of the Zoning Ordinance when the Board finds that all of the following
conditions have been met:
CONDITION A: That the granting of the variance will not be contrary to the
public interest.
CONDITION B: That literal enforcement of the ordinance will result in un-
necessary hardship because of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, shape,
topography or other extraordinary or exceptional physical situation or
physical condition unique to the specific piece of property in question.
"Unnecessary hardship" shall mean physical hardship relating to the property
itself as distinguished from a hardship relating to convenience, financial
considerations or caprice, and the hardship must not result from the appli-
cant or property owner's own actions.
CONDITION C: That by granting the variance, the spirit of the ordinance will
be observed and substantial justice will be done.
ANALYSIS,
CONDITION A: This proposal is not detrimental to the public interest
and will not be injurious to other property. The property was
developed prior to either the current Zoning or Subdivision Ordinances.
The existing buildings were constructed according to city building code
regulations about 1975. Original zoning was C-2 central commercial and
lot widths of only 25-ft. were permitted in that district.
CONDITION B: The owner developed two separate buildings on the tract
when current subdivision and zoning regulations were not in effect.
The resulting lots, contain 10,120 sq. ft. which is in excess of the
7,500 sq. ft. required for GC -MD zoned lots. There are ample yard and
parking areas provided to each proposed lot. No new improvements are
proposed. This is a unique situation.
Properties on either side of the request are developed. The subject
tract is developed with two buildings. Because of these physical
surroundings, denial of the variance would pose a particular hardship to
the present owner.
CONDITION Q: A variance will not in any significant way vary the
provisions of the zoning ordinance or 0:sVrehensive Plan. The
resulting lots will each contain an area 2,620 sq. ft. in excess of the
area required by ordinance. "There is no other land available to plat
CASE + 322-BA
other than to divide the tract in half. If the variance is granted the
spirit of the ordinance will be observed and substantial justice will
be done.
