WHEREAS, the City Council after hearing the application and finding the specific
facts as stated above now concludes and finds that:
1. The fact that the fence is in such a manner that it would not be feasible to
locate it outside the platted drainage easement constitutes special
circumstances and conditions affecting the property which if not taken into
consideration would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his
property.
2. The fact that the land use is not likely to change within the foreseeable future
and that it is not economically feasible to locate the fence outside the platted
drainage easement does provide a basis for granting the license necessary
for the preservation and enjoyment of the substantial property rights of the
applicant.
3. The fact that the use of the easement area by the property owner does not
interfere with the drainage, utilities or access to the utilities and is not
detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or injurious to the property
in the area; and
WHEREAS, the applicant agrees to accept the terms of the license agreement as
presented to him.
