Response: The lot is irregularaly shaped and has an existing driveway and a well with placement that <br />would only offer an alternative of the cutting down of 4 mature trees. <br />9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which <br />said land is located. <br />Response: The conditions may or may not apply generally to other land or structures in the district. <br />10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a <br />substantial property right of the applicant. <br />Response: Without the setback variance, the tree's health and longevity may be compromised, <br />potentially diminishing the property's value. Denying the setback variance would unduly restrict the <br />reasonable use of the applicant's property. The presence of the mature sugar maple and the desire to <br />minimize additional driveway space represent unique circumstances that warrant flexibility in zoning <br />regulations to accommodate the property owner's needs while still respecting the broader community <br />interests. <br />11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, <br />comfort, morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code. <br />Response: The proposed variance remains consistent with the overarching goals and principles of <br />the Zoning Code. <br />12. 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: The lack of adequate indoor parking affects the owners ability to fully utilize and enjoy <br />their property. Without sufficient parking space, vehicles may be exposed to the elements, increasing <br />maintenance costs and reducing their lifespan. This limitation may also restrict the owner's ability to <br />accommodate guests or household members' vehicles. While the variance benefits the owner, it also <br />aligns with the intent of the zoning regulations by promoting the efficient use of land and supporting <br />the property's functional utility without compromising neighborhood integrity or public safety. <br />5/8/24, 2:50 PM Permit Details | Citizenserve <br />https://www3.citizenserve.com/Admin/PermitController?Action=DisplayPermitDetail&SelectedTab=Permits&Permit_ID=14333192&WorkOrder_ID=883…2/298
