The Zoning Ordinance provides additional requirement for "yard variances" and "building or structure variances" that must also be met by an applicant seeking a variance in addition to the requirements set out hereinabove.
In addition to the general requirements set forth above the following requirements must also be met for a variance of the type identified below:
Yard Requirements The Board has the authority to permit a variance in the yard requirements of any district where there are unusual and practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships in the carrying out of these provisions due to an irregular shape of the lot, topographical or other conditions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Variances have been previously approved which would allow a residence to be built on this property. Applicant is requesting additional variances. Therefore, staff recommends denial of these requested variances.
