FINDINGS OF FACT OF THE MOOPCESVILLE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS Re: Mr. & Mrs. Thurmond Jacobs, 331 W. Main Street, Mooresville, Indiana. This matter came before the Boar d of Zoning Appeals on June 20, 1984 requesting a variance from the use and development standards of the Civil Town of Mooresville. The Mooresville Board of Zoning Appeals, having heard evidence on the above captioned petition now makes the following findings of fact pursuant to I.C. 36-7-4-918.4: 1. That there are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property of the petitioners and to the intended use that does not apply generally to other property or class of use in the same vicinity and in the district in which it is located. In particular that to have a double on this property would provide a good buffer from general business and residential zoning uses in the area. 2. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and district if such variance was not granted. In particular that to allow this type of use would be a good compromise between the general business and residential uses of property in this area. 3. That the granting of such variance will not be mutually detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity or district in which the subject property is located. In particular, that this use should be compatible to the surrounding areas and their present zoning and should not in any way affect the property. 4. That the granting of such variance will not alter the land use characteristics of the vicinity and the distrlct in which such property is located or diminish the marketable value of adjacent land and the improvements or cause or add to additional traffic congestion to the public streets in the area where the improvements are to be made in accordance with the granting of the variance. That this use should not increase traffic nor adversely affect property values. 5. That the Mooresville Board of Zoning Appeals, having heard evidence on the issuance of a variance and development standard to allow reduced front set- backs from 40 feet to 35 feet on Lots 9 and 10 and a side set-back from 60 feet to 32 feet now makes the following findings pursuant to Indiana Code: 1. That the approval of the petition will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community.
