Lots 5-11 of the proposed subdivision do not meet the lot area standards and therefore a variance is requested. Springfield Code 5.21-125 D. The Director shall approve the Minor Variance if the applicant demonstrates compliance with all of the applicable approval criteria: 1. Locational or dimensional problems have been identified that can be resolved by a Minor Variance; Response: By allowing a minor variance to the 60 -foot street frontage, the lots will meet the requirements for the lot area on a north -south street. 2. The request is the minimum necessary to alleviate the identified dimensional or locational problem; Response: Only a variance on the 60 -foot street frontage requirement is needed for the lots to meet the requirements. 3. Where applicable, the request shall result in the preservation of onsite trees 5 - inch dba and above; Response: Not applicable. 4. The request shall not impede adequate emergency access to the site; Response: The request will not impede adequate emergency access to the site. S. The request shall not unreasonably adversely impact public or private easements; and Response: No existing or proposed easements will be adversely impacted. 6. The request shall not unreasonably limit solar access standards for abutting properties. In order to meet this criterion, the Director may require that the building or structure be placed as close to the south property line as possible; Response: The developer will be building the structures on each lot and will be able to accommodate the solar standards on the individual lots. 7.

The Minor Variance for a parking reduction shall run with the use or uses to which it pertains and not run with the land itself, Response: Not applicable. C. The need for additional parking cannot reasonably be met through provision of on -street parking or shared parking with adjacent or nearby uses because: i. The owners of abutting properties cannot agree to execute a joint access/parking agreement, and/or Response: Not applicable. ii. The Public Works Director has determined the proposed shared parking area is a safety hazard because it is located too far from the proposed use, Response: Not applicable. d.
