Rev. 12/05
Written Statements that answer all six of the findings for granting a variance.
A) That the literal enforcement of this Chapter would cause undue hardship.
"Undue hardship" means the property cannot be put to reasonable use because of its
size, physical surroundings, shape or topography.
\Vith the purchase of our new motorcycle, we found we were not able to fit this in our
garage along with our 2 cars. Putting a shed on the side of our garage would be the
most logical place to house our motorcycle, making it easily accessible. Due to the
pie shape of our property however, we would only be able to build this shed 4 1f2 feet
away from the property line, thus, making it impossible to meet the std. ft. allowance.
B) That the condition upon which a petition for a variance is based are not applicable,
generally, to other property within the same zoning classification.
This is a unique situation due to the shape of our property.
C) That the purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or
income potential ofthe parcel ofland.
The purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or
income potential of our property. See 'D' below for further explanation.
D) That the alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship.
Due to a back issue caused by the vibration of our previous smaller motorcycle;
David has recently found it necessary to purchase a bigger motorcycle with minimal
to no vibration. As a result, we are unable to fit this in our garage. We have
concluded that our best option would be to add a shed next to our garage.
E) That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel of
land is located.
This shed would not be detrimental to public welfare or injurious to other land or
improvements in the neighborhood.
F) That the purposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, etc...
The height of this shed is under the soffit of our garage and therefore will not impair
light or air to adjacent property. We have discussed this shed with the Abels adjacent
to our property and they have no objections.
Written description of the variance request
We would like a variance for a shed to be build 4 Y2 ft away from our property line.
