RESOLVED that the Planning Commission approves the variance request (VAR 94-21)
to allow parking within the 25 foot front yard setback requirement, per the conditions

This variance does not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with

district in which the subject property is located.
Strict application of the applicable zoning regulations would deprive the subject
property of rights enjoyed by others in the general vicinity and/or located in the
same zoning district.
Due to the location of the single family residence on the property, the applicant
has no reasonable alternative to parking within the front and side yard setback
areas.
Vehicles parked within the front yard and side yard setback areas will not have a
negative impact on surrounding properties.
