That the above recitations are true and correct. 2. That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing the City Council grants the applicant's appeal and approves Administrative Variance 85-8 as shown on Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof, based on the following findings: FINDINGS 1. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same vicinity and zone in that the subject condominium plan, approved by the City of Carlsbad, is the only one in the area with a planned patio area in the 20 foot front yard set back area rather than in the side or rear yard areas as is usual and customary in residential buildings. 2. The requested variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone but which would be denied to the property in question without a variance because a number of other homes in the area, and specifically other condominiums in the same condominium development, have six foot fences around their patio areas providing privacy and s ecur i ty . 3. The granting of the variance will not be materially determintal to the public welfare in that there are many other 6 foot fences in the general area well within the 20 foot front yard set back area; the subject fence is attractive and presents no safety hazard. 4. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan. 5. The fence has been in place for approximately eight years without causing any problem. The appellant has come to rely on its presence for adequate enjoyment of the home. It would be unfair for the City to force its removal now after so long a time. 2. m 0 PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Carlsbad City Council held on the 15th day of April 1986 by the following vote, to wit: AYES: NOES: None Council Members Casler, Lewis, and Chick ABSENT: Council Members Kulchin and Pettine 3.
