STATEMENT OF HARDSHIP The applicant's statement of hardship is noted on the application fonn (Attachment A), Criteria for Determining Undue Hardship 1. 4. 5. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. The zoning lot would be unbuildable if held to the zoning district standards. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner. The zoning lot was platted and rearranged prior to current zoning district requirements. Many of these substandard lots have been combined to form larger, more conforming parcels, while the subject property has not. The variances, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. The variances for front, side and rear setback will not change the character of the area. 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. An attached garage is allowed in this zoning district. The special conditions applying to the structure of land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. Lots in the immediate neighborhood were platted prior to current zoning district requirements and do not meet current standards for area or width. Furthermore, the adjacent residences are larger, have attached garages and are located closer to the front lot line than the subject property.
