Provide description of any prior petition for appeal,variance,or conditional use for this parcel: No previous petitions. Type of variance requested(applicant,check one): ❑ Use Variance—permits a landowner to put a property to an otherwise prohibited use Area Variance—provides an increment of relief(normally small)from a physical/dimensional restriction such as a building height or setback Describe the effects on the property if the variance is gZ granted: Moving the deck back any further would interfere with the new drive created away from the lake, and require the removal of large mature pine trees. I would need to revert back to the original driveway close to the waters edge in order to fully comply with the 75ft setback ordinance. While a small variance is required to fit all the pieces together, the overall project results in a substantial improvement over the original property layout, both environmentally and aestetically. Part B: Three-Step Test (Please use additional paper f necessary) To qualify for a variance,the applicant must demonstrate that their property meets the following three requirements. 1. Unique property limitations (Item l to be completed by the applicant) Unique,physical limitations of the property,such as steep slopes or wetlands,which are not generally shared by other properties, must prevent compliance with ordinance requirements. The circumstances of an applicant (growing family,need for a larger garage,etc.)are not a factor in deciding variances. Nearby ordinance violations, prior variances, or lack of objections from neighbors do not provide a basis for granting a variance. Property limitations that prevent ordinance compliance and are common to a number of properties should be addressed by amending the ordinance.
