8. 9. The Board or Council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling. Not applicable. The special conditions applying to the structure of land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. The existing residence was constructed prior to current zoning district requirements. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located. Most properties in the area conform to zoning district setback requirements. 10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. Due to the location of the existing residence entirely within the required front setback, any addition to the residence would require a variance. 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. The variance will not impair health, safety, comfort or morals. 12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty. The entire existing residence is located within the required front setback. It is impossible to expand the residence without the granting of a variance. Issues The existing residence is located 55' from the edge of the street as the property line is located in the center of Watertown Road, which is unplatted. The residence is also located entirely within the required front setback. H2304 Deborah Shoil 4100 Watertown Road Variance October 20, 1997 Page 4
