Letter View 8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. Response: The special conditions are that with an addition (lean to) to our existing building our setback distances are increased over what the could be if we were to build a new stand alone structure. This is a good neighborly gesture. 9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located. Response: As mentioned earlier, I believe that every application has to be reviewed one by one. Trying to fit everyone in Orono into "standard boxes" does not work. 10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. Response: We are asking for a variance so that we can continue to enjoy our property in this area. This variance will allow us to have our possessions here at our home covered, secured and out of view of the public 11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code. Response: It will increase safety of our possessions, increase health by not having to worry about our possessions in an unsecured area, and give an overall good feeling of comfort to have our stuff here at our house 12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. Response: We have had to store our trailer at an outside lot away from our house. Because of theft and vandalism to our trailer and possessions and being concerned with safety and security of our trailer, we need a structure to secure our possessions. file:///C/Users/loakden/Downloads/Practical%20Difficulties%20Documentation%20Form%20(9).htm[5/16/2019 2:14:53 PM]
