VI a « A ^* ~«w OWNER'S RESPONSE TO HARDSHIP DOCUMENTATI INFORM 1. Ilie iwssibte buikling pad size and tocatbn is sh^ly liniited by the unique chameter of the |iroperty. The site b a slender point of la^ bounded by a steep slope to the lake on thrae of its sides, while the finiith asqends quickly from the BtiM. On the lakeside, the bluff setbacks create a dendci wedge shape too small to reasonably build on. As the wedge widens, creating a vger building area, the building pad is pushed into an ove^ close pioxenity witn the street By moving raid be required. A redesigned switchbadr drive, which is required on the skjping site, would necessitate further tree removal 2. As sighted above, the hardship is due to die unique coatou, form and steqmess of dw she, not by ciicumatances created by the laadowoer.' fbe owner is precluded from building on the ingority of his prqierty by various ake, wetl^ and Muff setbacks. We adc that some allowanoe be grant^ on the lunall portion which is buildable, so that a home nuqr be situated in a minimally intrusive and reasonable fitfhioa 3. The existing home and garage located on the she were bi ih prior to present day Muff setbacks and are much cloaer to the lake than we pr spoae to build the new lift me Til this way we are inqiBDving the “esaential chare rterofthe locality.” The proposed home is entirely in character with surrounding leighborfaood. 4. The variance request is not due to economic hardship. T1 e hardshqi is related to the unique conjuration of the she. 5. This hem is not applicable to our request 6. The variance request is not related to‘^ise.” 7. This item la not appUeaUe to our request. 8. As sighted above, die hardship is due to the pointed sluq»e of the land and the steepness of the she and are **peculiarto this property.” 9. This she being a very sleivtor point of land in unique in configuratiou and not typical of other land ir jie distriet that die land is located. 10. The granitog of the qiplicatkm will allow for a home, vdiich is iqipropriate in scale and shing to the naighboriiDod. With out the gnroting of the ^qilication the owner would be blocked from reasonable use of his land. 11. The gmting of the varianee will not impair the hBahh, safety, confott. O'9rals and will in efifect cany forward the intent of dte zoning code in that h wiU allow reasonable use of the land when the configuration of the land creates .r-tzl undue hardship to the owner 12. The gnuBtiiv of the variance is not just a cpnvenieooe to the owner but as sighted in Item #1 above is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship and difficulty. to A r:.;> \ ’■ St .-‘v B •mrei p er%
