Body
Resolved that the Rochester Hills City Council hereby denies a variance of 37 percent from the 37 percent requirement of Section 126-327(2) of Chapter 126, Article III, Tree Conservation, of the Code of Ordinances for Rochester Meadows Site Condominium (City File No. 99-011), identified as Parcel Nos. 15-23-201-006, -010, -011, 012.
Findings:
1. There are no special circumstances or conditions affecting the property such that the strict application of the Tree Conservation Ordinance would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his land.
2. The variance is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the petitioner, as there are alternatives available to meet the requirement of the Tree Conservation Ordinance.
3. The variance will not further the objectives and policies of the Tree Conservation Ordinance.
4. The quality, age, and potential life span of a regulated tree are not a factor in determining the applicability of Section 126-327(2) of the Tree Conservation Ordinance.
