Therefore making any improvements or corrections to � <br /> the property would require a variance for any scope of work.`Below are the responses to the specific criteria as they are <br /> ' indicated on the Hardship Documentation Form. <br /> 1, "The property in question cannok be put to a reasc�nable use if the used under condiiions ailowed by the ofricial <br /> �� � controls" <br /> Many portions of the home are in structurally unsound condition. Be�inning with the iound�tion, the existing <br /> � foundation has several points that at are varying in heights;at on point the difference is 9"from one point in a room to <br /> the adjacent corner. Other indications of movement are in slumping ceilings and bowed walls, These areas are <br /> numerous and require correction. In addition to this, the existing mechanical space is located in a crawl space that is <br /> ' � only accessible through an exterior set of doors, that are not only difficult to operate but are often covered in snow � <br /> ' during the winter months making access difficult and unsafe. . � <br /> . 2. "The plight of the landowner is due circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner." <br /> Many of the existing non-conforming conditions are due to the period of the original construction of the home as weil � <br /> � as current regulaiions making thcse existing conditions non-conforming therefore unique to this property. Specifically <br /> the rear or street side setback,neariy the entire home resides within the set back zone, ho�aever in context to the � <br /> - street and adjacent properties this is true of many properties along Rest Point Rd. <br /> 3. "The variance,if granted,will not aiter the essential character of the locality." � <br /> The proposed is within the existing footprint with the exception oP the connection of the existing garage. A connected <br /> L K E C 0 U N T R Y garage is common in the area and will not create and unique or change lhe character of the locality, In exchange for . <br /> the connection,we propose to remove fne rear portion of the home closest to Rest Point Road. Thus keep hardcover <br /> L D E R S, i.T D , within the existing figures. � . . <br /> 10.
