<br />Analysis of Hardship Criteria: <br />A specific response to each hardship criterion is included below: <br />1. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions <br />allowed by the official controls. <br />Given that the existing garage is non -conforming, any change to the footprint <br />would not be allowed by official controls. The current garage footprint is not <br />aligned with our house and thus, will significantly detract from the site’s <br />aesthetics if it were to be reconstructed as is. Furthermore, the existing footprint <br />will not accommodate the storage of bo ats and other equipment that are typically <br />associated with a lakeshore property, which are reasonable use of our property. <br />The unique topology of our lot severely limits the practicality of any conforming <br />arrangement of the detached structure. <br />2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not <br />created by the landowner. <br />Our situation is the result of three factors: location and condition of the existing <br />detached garage, the relative location of the house to the detached structu re, <br />and the steep incline (26 ft.) of our lot from the west to east property lines. We <br />had no role in creating any of these circumstances. <br /> 3. The deviation from the Ordinance with any attached conditions will still be in keeping <br />with the spirit and intent of the Ordinance. <br />We believe the proposed variance preserves the spirit and intent of the <br />Ordinance. We are proposing relatively modest changes to the existing footprint, <br />that will result in a substantially more functional garage that allows for reasonable <br />use of our property for us and any future owners. The end product will be an <br />aesthetically pleasing garage with high-quality construction that blends in with <br />and raises the character of our neighborhood with little to no negative impact on <br />our own or our neighbors’ property. We are also improving the conformance of <br />the structure with respect to the placement of the garage doors relative to the <br />street. <br />4. The variance will not create a land use not permitted in the zone. <br />The proposed garage will be used only for personal storage, which is permitted in <br />the current zoning of the property. <br />5. The variance will not alter the essential character of the City.
