Hilts, and that notice of the public hearing in connection with said

The Commission finds that the applicants have requested a

The applicants have requested a Variance from height limitations
as regards buildings which exceed more than one story in height.
The applicants have requested a mixed -use building which would
include a stable/tack/loft and recreational (racquetball, gym and
sauna) facilities. The Commission finds, further, that a Variance
would be necessary in order to permit the incorporation of a
recreational facility use into a stable/tack/loft building.
The Commission finds that there are extraordinary topograph-
ical and physical conditions which exist on the property which do
not apply to other properties in the vicinity and zone, which im-
pinge upon the applicant's ability to fully utilize his property,
without damaging the environment. The Commission finds that a
Variance should be granted in order to preserve substantial property
rights in the same vicinity and zone, and that the granting of such
Variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare,
not injurious to property in the same vicinity and zone.

a detached recreation facility. The Commission finds, further, that
the recreational facilities are proposed to be incorporated into

uses in a single building structure. The Commission informed
the applicants that the Conditional Use Permit would be subject
to certain conditions of approval.
