2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created <br />by the landowner. <br />The home was constructed before current zoning standards. It also has a history of drainage <br />problems that have eroded the garage foundation. <br />3. The variance, if granted, may alter the essential character of the locality. <br />The size and style of the remodeled home would be consistent with other properties in the <br />locality. <br />4. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance <br />for any use that is not permitted under this Chapter for the property in the zone where <br />the affected person's land is located. <br />Single family residential use is permitted in the LR-IA (One Family Lakeshore Residential) <br />zoning district. <br />5. The special conditions applying to the structure of land in question are peculiar <br />to such property or immediately adjoining property. <br />The structure is currently located within the setback distance, and the current property <br />owners have inherited water erosion problems. <br />6. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district <br />in which said land is located. <br />The existing residence was constructed only 9 .4 feet from the side lot line. The applicant has <br />stated the best way to control drainage is the addition of the drain tile under the garage. They <br />also intend to add to the living space of the home within the setback. <br />7. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment <br />of a substantial property right of the applicant. <br />The granting of the variance is not necessary to enhance the use of the structure. It is to <br />create more living space within the residence, and help control water erosion. <br />#2397 Joe and Leslee Lucas <br />I 060 North Brown Road <br />Variance <br />7/20/98 <br />Page 3
