Dear Mr. & Mrs. Garrison: The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an administrative variance at 2821 Cacatua Street. After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, the Planning Director has determined that the four findings required for granting an administrative variance can be made and, therefore, approves this request based on the following findings and conditions. 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, because a large portion of this lot is unbuildable because of the embankment slopes on all four sides, as well as the restrictions imposed on a corner lot. 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 is denied to the property in question because other residences have sufficient buildable space to add another garage if desired. November 5, 1986 Page Two 3. The granting of this variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinty and zone in which the property is located because the proposed addition will enhance the property and provide storage for an automobile that would otherwise be parked in the street. 4. The granting of this variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan because density will not be affected. Conditions: 1. Approval is granted for AV 86-15, as shown on Exhibit "A", dated November 5, 1986 , on file in the Planning Department and incorporated herein by reference. You have the right to appeal this decision to the Planning Commission within ten days of receipt of this letter. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to call this office.
