Applicants should also be asked <br />for their testimony regarding this issue. <br />Criteria for Deiermining Undue Hardship <br />1.The propert>- in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions <br />allowed by the official controls. <br />Lot 1 has been used as part cf Lot 2 to date because both are held by the same owners. <br />Lot 1 is not buildable without lot area and width variances. <br />The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created <br />by the landowner. <br />The lots of record were approved prior to the current city zoning ordinance. Th*' <br />configuration of Lot 1 along a protected body of water limits hardcover and building <br />area to a greater extent than if the parcel was entirely contiguous. <br />3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. <br />The variances for lot size, lot width, and hardcover will not change the character of the <br />area. A residence could be built upon a lot that has historically been vacant, however. <br />4. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable <br />use for the property exists under the terms of this chapter. <br />M2233 Gary and Bonnie Birnbaum <br />2693 Kelly Avenue <br />Variances <br />9/15/97 <br />Page 3 <br />• m
