1. Variance - Lot Area and Width - 1897 Birmingham Street - 7:30 P.M.
a. Chairman Anderson convened the meeting for a public hearing regarding the
request of Daisy Flicek for lot area and width variance for the property at 1897
Birmingham Street. The Clerk read the notice of hearing along with the dates of
publication.
b. Manager Miller presented the staff report and stated staff recommends denial
of the lot area and width variances, based on the following findings:
1. The subject property does not involve circumstances that are unique to
the individual property.
2. The proposed variance would be contrary to the spirit and intent of the
ordinance.
3. The proposed variance would set a precedent for further splitting into
substandard lots that would exceed the density standards of the RL District.
