The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the <br /> applicant but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. <br /> Response: As the owners for nearly 29 years, we believe we have through the <br /> answers we have sincerely given to these practical difficulties documentation <br /> points, have demonstrated how it would improve our lives by approving our <br /> variance application to allow for a slightly larger and yet modest new deck as <br /> described and reflected in the attached plans, and at the same time would have no <br /> deleterious effect to our immediate neighbors to the North and South, as well as <br /> to the immediate locality. <br /> For example, the owners have what may have been considered a fairly expensive <br /> dining set of "Brown-Jordan" deck table, chairs and an umbrella that they brought <br /> with them when they purchased the property. The table is 4 ft. in diameter and <br /> the dining chairs are approximately 2 ft. so that providing enough space to seat 4 <br /> to 6 people comfortably for outdoor dining and/or hospitality in nice weather <br /> anywhere on the deck with only 9 ft. to work with is a real stretch and a hardship <br /> to say the least. We are hopeful that with the approval of our variance application, <br /> we would be able to accommodate a few more people on the new and modestly <br /> larger deck for outdoor hospitality. <br />
