8. "The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are <br /> � peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining properEy." <br /> 9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the <br /> district in which said land is located." <br /> The placement of this structure on the property and the flat roof design is <br /> peculiar to this property. They axe untypical to the area and make this a <br /> special condition and hardship to us as homeowners. Because of the <br /> placement of our home on this property, we aze also asking for a side yard <br /> variance in order to square off a strangely shaped garage. We cannot push the <br /> garage back further because it is too shallow, but would like to square it off <br /> for usefulness and aesthetics. We are reducing the area of the deck by <br /> approximately 1/3 in order to be sensitive to the setback from the lake; <br /> however, we use the underneath of the deck for storage, so we would like to <br /> be able to store these items in the garage. We will end up with a net loss for <br /> hardcover. <br /> 10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and <br /> enjoyment of a substantial property right to the applicant." <br /> We really need the variances in order to continue to live in this house. The <br /> roof needs to be raised in order to give us the space we need for a family to <br /> live there. <br /> 11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, <br /> safety, comfort, morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent <br /> ' of the Zoning Code." <br /> If granted,these variances will not impair or impact the health, safety, or be <br /> contrary to the intent of the code. <br /> 12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to <br /> the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or <br /> difficulty." � <br /> When I bought this house in 1991, I was not aware that the house and lot were <br /> so non-conforming to codes. Our hardship is the pre-existing conditions that <br /> we cannot change. The house is solid. We have had an engineer inspect the <br /> structure and it can hold a second story. We are asking that you grant these <br /> variances to allow us the space we need. <br />
