The grant of variance will be generally consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the Aspen Area Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 24 of the Aspen Municipal Code. 4. The grant of variance is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the parcel, building or structure. 5. The literal interpretation and enforcement of the terms of Chapter 24 of the Aspen Municipal Code would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other parcels in the same zone district, and would cause the applicant unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty. In determining that the applicant's rights would be deprived absent a variance, the Board considered certain special conditions and circum- stances which are unique to the parcel, building or structure, which are not applicable to other parcels, structures or buildings in the same zone district and which do not result from the actions of the applicant; to wit: The property is non - conforming with regards to lot width and further hindered by the presence of a sewer line on the rear third of the property. Section 2. Variance Granted. The Board of Adjustment does hereby grant the applicant the following variance from the terms of Chapter 24. of the Aspen Municipal Code: A 2% reduction in the required open space, allowing for 33% open space on the property located at 1008 East Hopkins, Aspen, Colorado.
