4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Economic considerations nione shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of this chapter. Economic factors are not a consideration with this application. 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. The use of the property would remain residential, which is consistent with the zoning. Storage sheds are permitted as accessory structures in the LR-1A Zoning District. The special conditions applying to the structure of land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. The buildable portion of the property is limited by the wetland located between Shoreline Drive and the house. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located. This lot is similar to other lots in the locality. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The LR-1 A Zoning District permits storage sheds as accessory structures. The low, wet land has limited the ability for the applicants to have a space for indoor storage on the property. 1 he ''f ^be proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any other re.pect I -i contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code. ^e granting of variances would not be a public hazard or contrary to the intent of the Zoning 10. 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 applicants have demonstrated a hardship created by the wetland and limitations of the existing structure due to the high water table. ff2409 Gedney and Emily Anne TuitL* 1225 Shoreline Drive Vat^ance 8/17/98 Page 4
