QUESTION 12: Without the variances requested,the applicant will be unable to build on the � <br /> subject lot and to use the property for its intended and zoned use. The properly will be worth <br /> substantially less as an unbuildable lot than for its intended use. Moreover, by the granting of <br /> the variance the southerly lot line will be settled by the agreement of the respective owners. <br /> HARDSHIP STATEMENT . <br /> u As explained above,the hardship was created by a historical error on the section survey whereby <br /> a section was created less than typical size. As platted the southerly lot line bisects the southerly <br /> neighbor's home. The lot as platted would have�no need of variances as there would be <br /> adequate square feet of dry land and the setbacks would be easy to satisfy. In light of the <br /> encroachment of southerly neighbor caused by the errant section line (shown on the survey)that <br /> creates a smaller amount of dry land and area to accommodate a house footprint,the requested <br /> variances are necessary. This application is in line with similar variances granted by the City of <br /> Orono in recent years relating to the issues herein. The grant of this variance would bring about <br /> an orderly resolution to the disputed southerly lot line pursuant to the stipulation of the two <br /> affected owners. <br />
