L L if ■ : 2. 4. 5. 6. 7. The zoning lot can continue to be used for residential use without the storage building. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner. The Zoning Code limits the size of accessory structures. The proposed storage building exceeds the allowed maximum size, encroaches 7' into the required front yard and exceeds tue height requirement based on the principal structure. 3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. The va-iance for a 4,032 sq. ft. oversized accessory structure that exceeds the 1,600 sq. ft. limitation to locate within 23' of the front property line and also exceeds the height of the principal structure will change the character of the area. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of this chapter. The applicant has not indicated whether economic factors are a consideration with this application. Undue hardship also includes, but is not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Solar access is not a consideration. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance for any use that is not permitted under this Chapter for the property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. The applicant has indicated that the storage building is for his personal belongings. However, a building of this size would appear commercial in nature and may encourage future owners to attempt to locate commercial uses in the building. The Board or Council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling. Not applicable. #2284 James Slechta 3700 Northern A venue PC-9/15/97 page-4
