Please plan to attend this meeting and be prepared to address the enclosed variance criteria. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me. Very truly, ifzx�� Richard Ward, Zoning Administrative Officer RW/mcp 1 Encl MEETING The Zoning Board of Adjustments a quasi-judicial body empowered to hear appeals to the Zoning Regulations. These regulations have the force and effect of law. It is the responsibility of you, the petitioner, to present your documented arguments as to why the Board should grant a variance in your case. The Board has little discretionary power and each of the following five criteria must be met before the Board can grant a variance. Not one - three or four but all of the following facts must be found by the Board before a variance can be granted. Please come prepared to present all the facts necessary for the Board to make an objective and intelligent decision. (Refer to Section 4468 of the Planning and Development act of 1969 for further clarification.) 1. That there are unique physical circumstances or conditions, including irregularity narrowness or shallowness of lot size or shape, or exceptional topography or other physical conditions peculiar to the particular property, and that the unnecessary hardship is due to such conditions, and not the circumstances or conditions generally created by the provisions of the zoning regulations in the neighborhood or district in which the property is located. THE LOT SIZE IS IRREGULAR, 216 X 177. THE HOUSE IS NOT PLACED ON THE LOT STRAIGHT; IT IS ON AN ANGLE: THEREFORE, IN PLANNING THE ADDITION IT STARTS OUT 10 FEET AND ENDS UP 6 FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE (SEE DRAWING) AS THE PROPERTY LINE GOES ON AN ANGLE. e 2. That because of such physical circumstances or conditions, there is no possibility that the property can be developed in strict conformity with the provisions of the zoning regulations and that the authorization of a variance is therefore necessary to enable the reasonable use of the property. DUE TO THE EXISTING HOUSE'S POSITION ON THE LOT, THERE IS NO WAY TO COME OFF THE BACK OF THE HOUSE STRAIGHT WITHOUT COMING CLOSER TO THE LINE. 3. That such necessary hardship has not been created by the appellant. I AM REPLACING AN EXISTING ROOM AND DECK. THIS WAS PART OF OUR LIVING AREA. OUR ROOM WAS 14 x 15; OUR DECK WAS APPROXIMATELY 12 x 14. WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH CARPENTER ANTS AND DECIDED TO TEAR DOWN EVERYTHING AND START OVER WITH A BASEMENT WHICH THE PREVIOUS OWNER DIDN'T HAVE. 4. That the variance, if authorized, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood or district in which the property is located, nor substantially or permanently impair the appropriate use or development of adjacent property, nor detrimental to the public welfare. THE ADDITION IS FACING EVERYONE'S BACKYARD AND WILL BE AN ASSET TO THE PROPERTY AS WELL AS OTHER PROPERTIES SURROUNDING THE YARD. 5. That the variance, if authorized, will represent the minimum variance that will afford relief and will represent the least modification possible of the zoning regulations and of the plan. THE VARIANCE, IF GRANTED, WILL BE ONLY IN A SECTION OF THE BACKYARD WHERE THERE ARE FENCES AND WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE NEIGHBORS AND WILL BE MOSTLY ON THE BACK END OF THE HOUSE. 41p, -T- F I f I 1 I � 1 ' City of South Burlington Application to Board of Adjustment Dates' Applicant Owner, leasee, agent Address Official Use APPLICATION # HEARING DATE FILING DATE FEE AMOUNT Telephone # Landowner '< I I/ Address Location and description of property Type of application check one: ( ) appeal from decision of Administrative Officer ( ) request for a conditional use ( ) request for a variance.
