FINDINGS <br /> RON ROBINSON/MIKE HAKEEM <br /> VR- <br /> 1. Because of the special circumstances applicable to the property,including size, shape <br /> topography, location or surroundings,the strict application of the zoning regulations <br /> deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under <br /> identical zoning classification. <br /> A. The Applicant previously applied for a Minor Subdivision (No. PA-0400488) <br /> to subdivide a 275 acre parcel into six (6) parcels ranging in size from 40 <br /> acres to 53.9 acres with a designated remainder. If the variance is granted, the <br /> Applicant will re-apply for a Minor Subdivision with a maximum of six (6) <br /> az elf. The property will remain as AG in the General Plan and with AG-40 <br /> zoning. <br /> B. The Property's unique location and surroundings include approximately thirty <br /> (30) PG&E high voltage power poles which serve the larger agricultural area. <br /> These thirty (30)power poles would have to be either relocated or placed <br /> underground to widen the road to the fifty (50) foot standard for a rural <br /> residential roadway. <br /> C. The other properties in the area benefit from these thirty (30) power poles but <br /> they are not burdened by the power poles. As such, the strict application of <br /> the requirement for a fifty (50) foot ROW rural residential roadway deprives <br /> the Robinson property of privileges enjoyed by the other surrounding <br /> properties under identical zoning classification. <br /> 2. The granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent <br /> with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the property is <br /> situated. <br /> Due to its unique characteristics with thirty (30) PG&E power poles on the <br /> property,which are adjacent to the roadway,the requested relief from the <br /> requirement to widen the roadway from the existing thirty (30) feet easement <br /> roadway to the fifty (50) feet rural residential roadway required by the strict <br /> application of Dev. Tit. § 9-1150.15(d) will not constitute a grant of special <br />
