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 sewer easement, setbacks, and the size and shape of the lot all combine to make for <br />a unique situation. <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: The current structure, including room layout, mechanical systems, ceiling heights, etc. <br />date back to 1956, and is due for replacement. The outdated interior and amount of square footage is <br />inadequate for today’s modern lifestyle. The new home will correct these deficiencies and make for a <br />livable home for many years to come. <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 granting of the variance will not in any way impair the health, safety, comfort, morals <br />or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code – it will only allow construction of <br />a suitable new home to replace the existing structure. <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 granting of this variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the homeowner <br />but is necessary to alleviate the demonstratable difficulty. The specific difficulty is the size/shape of <br />the lot combined with the sewer easement and lake and street setbacks. This makes building a new <br />home, built to today’s current living standards, with a full second story, impossible without the <br />granting of a variance. <br />65
