FINDINGS OF FACT RE: Variance Request of Mooresville Public Library This matter came before the Mooresville Board of Zoning Appeals on Wednesday, September 17, 1986 at the regularly scheduled meeting date and time. The petition requested a variance to allow the construction of a public library on said real estate which is classified A-Residential with the proposed type of use requiring a LB zoning classification. The Mooresville Board of Zoning Appeals, having heard evidence on the above captioned petition now makes the following findings of fact pursuant to Indiana Code 3-7-4-918.5: 1. That the approval would not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community and in fact felt this would be a great asset to the community. 2. That the use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance would not be affected in a substantially adverse manner, and that the structure should be an asset to the community and the adjacent properties. 3. That the need for the variance arises from some condition peculiar to the property involved due to the slope of the property and the type of development that would be necessary to fully use this property being limited to this type of structure versus breaking it down in residential areas with the resulting drainage problems and portions of the ground that could not be used. 4. That the strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance would constitute an unnecessary hardship if applied to the property for which a variance is sought in that a local business classification would not be compatible with the surrounding residential uses. 5. That the approval does not interfere substantially with the comprehensive plan adopted under the Indiana Code in that this is a compatible use with the prior location of the neighborhood and proximity to schools and residential uses.
