The Planning Commission reviewed the application for variances as contained in Case File #02-029, and held hearings thereon April 22, 2002, and May 13,2002. c. The Planning Commission concluded the variance requests did not meet the hardship criteria and denied the requests. d. Steven & Patricia Mosey appealed the decision of the Planning Commission in accordance with Section 1109.400 of the City Code on April 29, 2002. e. The City Council reviewed the appeal of the Planning Commission's decision, and the information contained in Case File #02-029 and Case File #02-062, and held a hearing thereon on May 20, 2002. f. The City Council has considered the effect of the proposed variances upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variances on the Comprehensive Plan. g.

Any hardship was not caused by the actions of the applicant through the design and placement of the proposed structures.
