exterior entrance is the only way remaining for me to stabilize the climate and prevent my valuable property from being damaged. Matter 2: The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. The room in which I have my grand piano was added onto the house by the previous owner years before I bought the house. The room was added in 2009, and I purchased the house in 2015. This addition is unique to my property, and its design was determined long before I took possession of the house. I had no input into the difficulty the entrance has created for me. Matter 3: The deviation from the Ordinance with any attached conditions will still be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Ordinance The deviation I am requesting keeps with the spirit and intent of the ordinance in that it will not apply to four important aspects of the ordinance. First, the deviation will leave the amount of permeable ground on the property exactly as it is. The vestibule will simply shelter 6 feet of sidewalk, which is already impermeable, meaning the amount of impermeable surface area will remain the same and will not be increased. There will be no deviation in this important regard. Second, the deviation will not affect any setbacks. My garage and house are separate, and the vestibule will be situated between the house and the garage, meaning it will not extend its structure toward any property lines, so all setbacks will remain exactly as they are. Third, it will not affect the character of the property. The vestibule will be built with the same style, color, and materials as the rest of the property. It is small at 30 square feet and will be minimally visible to anyone. My HOA as well as both of my neighbors on either side have looked at plans and given their approval to the project. And fourth, to the best of my knowledge, the Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) will still be compliant with the ordinance after the vestibule is built. The scheduled survey should confirm this when it is done next week. The deviation I am requesting pertains only to the percentage of the property that is allowed to have structures on it. By sheltering 6 feet of existing sidewalk, it would raise this percentage only by an additional 1.5%. I am hoping the smallness of the request will work in its favor. My property does already stand at 26% due to the modifications by the previous owner. 4. The variance will not create a land use not permitted in the zone. The vestibule in question will not create any land use not permitted in the zone. This entrance was already there when I bought the house, so this project would not constitute an additional
