The subject property wth the proposed garage does not exceed hardcover limitations. Criteria for Determining Undue Hardship 1. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. It would be possible for the owners to obtain reasonable use of the property in its current state, however, currently there is no enclosed storage for vehicles on the lot. Building the proposed structure would allow them greater enjoyment of their property. The garage would allow them to park their boat and camper out of view and protect them from the elements. 2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner. There are topographical limitations on the property. The rear yard has significant slope, as well as the south side yard. The north side yard does not allow sufficient space for the construction of a garage. Due to these limitations, the area in front of the principal structure is the only feasible location for a garage. 3. The variances, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Planning Commission recommends that locating a garage 22.5' in height as measured to the peak of the roof, which exceeds the height of the principal structure and that is nearer to the front lot line than the principal structure will not have a detrimental effect on the character of the locality. §2270 Marcia and Kenneth Hickey 4640 Tonkavie\e Lane 9/13/97 Page 3
