3. Unnecessary hard"hi (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-term, 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 /> NOW Wye Wrstoq®o oCt sperm pmbft we wdmresa, tete are a <br /> number of TAW <br /> 04Y ere rat Advo: <br /> � x.. * <br /> taesru!that�the�iao t+aaouabte use twn?be mrde of the <br /> Pte• ,, , <br /> • Often <br /> the t3oard ie asbed eberad v a proposed use is ieclyded svitlun the <br /> nwaWng otaparkaderperaided or oco dkkxW we or whether it is <br /> sufficimft distinct as to awkAt it f can the oediuseve Suds a <br /> . • .iaat>t�t�oe,�)iuta�appe�l;ofti►a . . ,s <br /> —01 lilt III I 91141aymm <br /> tend stea�trr�rroid daiecamad daaskm fust <br /> laad to wdersaine <br /> lrssdur�piiasasd c�rdiirMMow; ves.
