3. 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-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 /> r t ,,.. <br /> icy,,, tt{E4 IIk3t5h +' G 2, Y era d { t i t <br /> § ti f { ti !v`HI Ott + s t. <br /> muy(sil:pp qq yyq ra�yy ,y t <br /> h2��t <br /> ear55 4 x; <br /> 01 <br /> � Y <br /> t at barrrse va C45 517 JW <br /> tm u <br /> tlttaxd Ss meed to ttetetxa�7e Wl7etfter a pno,eco r5se istr5 [ttle <br /> ,a ,+jx+ ,,.. <br /> t ��o,�'�� � p�rlY(t'� C"#A,��7�1kSP°I#l7Tr'f�j1"1°� �t <br /> + ! r�,1!! { !i �II <br /> t ;! ! <br /> I S ; t�� tl ° oc�17 'luSyrua lRt4 t a Y 2<!v! <br /> , <br /> :fin, tt � r�..i ( �' ! !t! +i'� t!!I i t2 4 ,3r II r4�t��, tG Ii td l� tI I� tR, <br /> I{�t "dln� GQII7 rs l' I ttV t !� <br /> � <br /> 1; b� ` 7 `dt011 2u15itS t� <br /> F#e <br /> !!,t 1 t ttt Is3GHjiSti � � ! �8 <br /> d-! <br /> S <br /> Is unnecessary hardship present? <br /> YES.
