Applying A Cellular Tower On The Proposed Site

First, rezoning action is quasi-judicial in nature, subject to strict scrutiny on certiorari review. Second, a landowner who demonstrates that proposed use of the property is consistent with comprehensive plan is not presumptively entitled to such use. Third, a landowner seeking to rezone a property has burden of proving that proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan, and consequently burden shifts to the zoning board to demonstrate legitimate public purpose of maintaining existing zoning classification. Finally, the board is not

Board of Appeals of Worcester, 340 Mass.748, 753. Accordingly, the court ultimately reversed the decree granting the zoning variance tothe gas station.In order for Client to be granted a permit variance to build a gas station in a commercial officespace zone, he must meet each of the 40A, § 10 statutory requirements. Grenon v.Commonwealth, (2004) Mass. Super. LEXIS 176.In Shacka v. Board of Appeals, the Massachusetts Supreme Court reversed a zoning variancegranted to a gas station owner when it determined there were no facts to support a hardshipexisted. The court stated “if there is occasion to change the uses permitted on this and otherland in the area, because of the general effect of the shift to business, that is for the town toconsider by way of amendment.” Similarly under the client’s circumstances, a court would findan amendment more appropriate in addressing his concerns of an overage of commercial officespace and need for a gas station. (1961) 341 Mass. 593.Client has no hardship related to his request for a zoning variance and thus would not qualifyfor one. Simply because Client believes a gas station is needed in the area, and that officespace is too plentiful, in no way meets the zoning statutory requirements of 40A, § 10.In summary, Client has no legal basis to request a zoning variance in not meeting the 40A, §10 statutory

During the review process, Smith claimed that a city staff member informed him that the new barn did not qualify as “structure” (under the state and city statute, the buffer zone only applied to structures). However, in final review, the City Council denied Smith’s

To begin, after the site has been chosen several lengthy steps must follow, the site location meets all regulatory, environmental, historical and municipal zoning requirement approvals. Additionally, the property on which the tower will be constructed must be free and clear of all encumbrances and mortgages usually 100’ x 100’ square foot area of property. When all those steps are successfully completed and approved the construction can now move forward with a notice to proceed. There will be a site visit organized for the bidding process inviting pre-approved contractors, civil engineers,

By doing this Commissioners can get a better idea of the number of spaces available before a decision is made on the Harcatus request if there is not an agreement in place with the former Tischbein State Farm

Erin Callen was present to request a variance on the setback for a shop that was built at 2091E 2200N. The shop should have been built 55 feet from the section line. The northwest corner of the shop is approximately 31 feet from the section line and the southwest corner of the shop is approximately 35 feet from the section line. Commissioner Davis made a motion to grant a variance on the setback for the shop with the stipulation that in the event a road becomes necessary, the Callen’s will grant the District additional right-of-way on the west side of 2100E between 2100N and 2200N section line to meet the county setback requirement. Commissioner Baily seconded the motion and it carried with a unanimous vote of the Board.

The local government may be aggrieved entitling it to appeal a decision from its own board of adjustment. The same is true of officers in the local government charged with supervision of the ordinance who believe the government made an error. In the Township of North Brunswick v. Zoning Board of Adjustment of the Township of North Brunswick and Kaplan Companies case, Kaplan Companies wanted to build a four-story luxury apartment building with 85-units for senior citizens in North Brunswick Township’s R-2 Zone. The building would be constructed on a plot of 3.66 acre land located along the side of a collector highway. According to North Brunswick Township’s Master Plan, only detached single-family houses of no more than thirty feet in height were permitted to be constructed in the township’s R-2 zones and no more than 2.9 houses could be built on each acre of land. In 2003, the Zoning Board granted Kaplan Companies the right to construct the building, believing that the new residence suited the location, but North Brunswick Township believed that the zoning board of adjustment completely ignored the zoning history of this land. North Brunswick Township sued zoning board and Kaplan companies. The Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division held that the zoning board had assumed North Brunswick’s zoning authority by granting variance for building that exceeded limitations in a residential zone. The Zoning Board’s action had the effect of rejecting North Brunswick

While reading HOUSING AUTHORITY &c. v. Johnson, 74 SE 2d 891 - Ga: Supreme Court 1953, I was very perplexed. The record in this case discloses that the redevelopment project here proposed involves 139 acres of land and a population of 5056 persons and 818 dwelling structures *561 together with a number of structures now being used for business purposes. It is proposed to remove all buildings from the area, and thereafter the property "shall be used for light manufacturing or industrial use, warehousing and servicing operations, and related activities." It is further provided that, "said redevelopment plan provides for the ultimate sale or lease of the land acquired in carrying out said redevelopment project to private individuals." Such of

“The McClure line of cases well establishes that a buyer purchasing property with knowledge, either actual or constructive, of the existing zoning, will not be granted a variance because the hardship was self-inflicted. In McClure Appeal , the Fidelity-Philadelphia Trust Company applied for a permit to erect a branch bank on land zoned as residential. After the permit was denied, Fidelity successfully applied for a variance under the zoning ordinance. In reversing the granting of the variance, the McClure court focused on the fact that when Fidelity purchased the property, it knew that the area was zoned residential, and despite such knowledge, still purchased the lot. The court concluded, therefore, that Fidelity was in no position to claim

The two choices of land locations are as follows: A an open area near the local county courthouse that will have rapid access to and from the jail to the courthouse probably using a bridged-crosswalk or B a track of undeveloped land that currently has no basic utilities services such as electricity, water, etc. The cost to construct in this location will exceed the assigned funding’s.

SU-2 zoning allows form Sawmill/Wells Park general regulation. This zoning is allowed for the “preservation of historic physical characteristics, safer, allow for residential and nonresidential site design.” This zoning is primarily to the south of the site and acts as a buffer between the neighborhood and the downtown area. It allows for more diverse uses within the area, but maintains the characteristics of the neighborhood. Some uses of the area include schools, small-scale apartment-style housing, law firms, auto shops, and residential housing. Further south, single family housing starts to dissipate into commercial and municipal buildings as the city transitions into the downtown area.

A proposal from Diversified Pacific LLC for a residential development of 55-single family lots was presented to the City Council and approved by Planning Commission in fall 2014. Before that, a public hearing was held in July to discuss the possibility of rezoning a part of the city’s Agricultural Preserve land to residential estate, which would be constructed by Diversified Pacific. In December, the developer brought the plan Redlands Airport Advisory Board but facing inquiries and raised concerns of residential encroachment could jeopardize the airport operations in the future. The Redlands Airport Land Use Compatibility

On the other hand, if the owner doesn’t want to increase FAR less than required but the adjacent owner of the building want to increase the FAR in different way regardless of incentive zoning. Hence, the idea of Donald Trump of Air Rights” came when Donald decided to build a massive luxury residential tower by using air rights from adjacent under built properties. According to of Trump World Tower at The United Nations; “When the city created its zoning law, it wanted to limit the amount of bulk on a particular block but not necessarily building height. It didn’t care if the bulk was in one building or 20 buildings. In other words, if a building on Parcel A was 10,000 square feet but the zoning permitted a 30,000-square-foot building, the owner of Parcel A could sell the excess 20,000 square feet of building coverage (“air rights”) to the owner of Parcel B. In fact, the building department liked the idea of the bulk being in one structure because it gave more light and air everywhere else in the neighborhood. Since there was little likelihood that the owner of the unused air rights would ever use them, their sale to an adjoining owner who wanted them could fetch a price far in excess of their worth to the owner who had them.”

For this project our group was tasked with designing a tower under the parameters of a 40 cm height minimum and 10 x 10 cm tower base minimum using bass wood and wood glue. The overall aim was ultimately to design a tower with the greatest mass-to-weight ratio. The following consists of the procedures, results, and conclusions of our designing, constructing, and testing stages.
