requesting a temporary 58-foot height variance to the Airport Zoning Ordinance to allow
for a crane for the construction of a multi-family residential building. Staff recommended approval of the request due to the fact that it meets the specified criteria. Specifically:
1. A literal application or enforcement of the regulation would result in
practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship. 2. The granting of the relief would result in substantial justice being done. 3. The granting of the relief would not be contrary to the public interest. 4. The granting of the relief would be in accordance with the spirit of the
regulation.
Board Member Collins asked the applicant if there was an alternative solution where a crane variance would not be necessary.
