MOORESVILLE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS FINDINGS OF FACT FOR VARIANCE FROM DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS Pursuant to IC 36-7-4-918.5, the Mooresville Board of Zoning Appeals having heard the variance filed by Bob Jones, Pamela Albertson and Angela Moore at the meeting held September 14, 2017, regarding Lots 43, parcel #55-01-25-459-003.000-005 and Lot 44, parcel #55-01-25-459-002.000-005, commonly known as 213 St. Clair St., Mooresville, Indiana requesting a variance for the construction of a two-family residence on a lot less than 10,000 square feet from the side setbacks from 10' to 5'. 1. The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community for the following reasons: similar uses and setbacks within the area. 2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner for the following reasons: these properties adjoin one another with Lot 45 also being taken out of the development standard variance. The general consequence of these variances should not have any substantial adverse impact to the area which is an old area of town with new development creating better property values. 3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning ordinance will result in practical difficulties in the use of the property, namely: the practical difficulties would include a restricted use of these properties never being invested in due to the area and other similar uses. The use as a double would increase the ability to build on this property and make it viable.
