The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant <br />but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. <br />Response: By granting the variance(s) and allowing the applicant to build a deck/outdoor living <br />space off of the 2nd Level Kitchen at the back of the property is not merely a convenience but also a <br />safety measure. The home has a unique interior staircase between the levels. The homeowner had <br />hip replacement surgery in October 2022 and has not fully regained mobility. She also has both <br />cervical and lumbar spine issues that cause instability in maneuvering stairs and must use the <br />stairway's handrails for maximum stability when ascending and descending. Therefore, carrying <br />prepared food and beverage items down stairs and through the lower level of the home and then <br />lugging items back up to the 2nd floor kitchen is not possible/suitable for safety reasons. <br />https://www5.citizenserve.com/Admin/PermitController?Action=DisplayPermitDetail&SelectedTab=Permits&Permit_ID=12203161 &WorkOrder_I D=876... 3/3 <br />
