Unnecessary hardship (To be completed by the applicant) <br /> An applicant may not claim unnecessary hardship because of conditions which are self-imposed <br /> or created by a prior owner(for example: excavating a pond on a vacant lot and then arguing that <br /> there is no suitable location for a home). Courts have also determined that economic or financial <br /> hardship does not justify a variance. When determining whether unnecessary hardship exists,the <br /> property as a whole is considered rather than a portion of the parcel. The property owner bears <br /> the burden of proving unnecessary hardship. <br /> • For an area variance, unnecessary hardship exists when compliance would unreasonably <br /> prevent the owner from using the property for a permitted purpose (leaving the property <br /> owner without any use that is permitted for the property) or would render conformity <br /> with such restrictions unnecessarily burdensome. The Board of Adjustment must <br /> consider the purpose of the zoning restriction, the zoning restriction's effect on the <br /> property, and the short-tern, long-term and cumulative effects of a variance on the <br /> neighborhood, the community and on the public interests. This standard reflects the new <br /> Ziervogel and Waushara County decisions. <br /> • For a use variance, unnecessary hardship exists only if the property owner shows that <br /> they would have no reasonable use of the property without a variance. <br /> Is unnecessary hardship present? <br /> YES.
