land in the same zoning district, and which cause unusual and practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship to the use of a compliant fence material allowed by the ordinance with the provisions sought here to be varied. 4. The hardship sought to be avoided is the result of (a) the applicant's own actions (self- imposed or self-created), and (b) the applicant has not stated that there is an economic or financial hardship for the use of an approved material which alone, should not be justification for approval of the variance. 5. The provisions of Fence Ordinance No. 2021-044 and its amendments, that are sought to be varied with an unimproved fence material, do not deprive the applicant of reasonable rights to use the property that are commonly enjoyed by other properties in residential areas which are required to comply with these ordinance provisions. 4. Public hearing to consider and take action on the petition of Doreen Ruthart of Ron Doe Homes, on behalf of Charlotte Edwards, regarding a variance to the City of Paris Zoning Ordinance Area Regulations, Section 9-601 on Lot 2' of 2 & WI/2 of 3, Block 2, of Tudor Addition, being located at 724 NE 10th Street. The applicant is constructing a single-family home as part of the HOME Program at 724 NE 10th Street. When the Form Board Survey was done, it was discovered that the forms had been set with a 47" side yard on the northern side of the property instead of the minimum required of 5'. The applicant is requesting a 5" variance to the minimum 5' side yard setback to allow the 47" side yard to remain. Andrew Mack, Director of Planning & Community Development, presents case to the board. Mr. Mack states that this variance is a product of miss -communication between the general contractor, subcontractors, and City and was clearly unintentional. Lastly, Mr. Mack states that it would be unnecessary and costly to correct the setback since it is only a few inches and therefore the City staff recommends approval. Mr. Walker declared the public hearing open. Doreen Ruthart of 420 PR 43375, and applicant states that Mr. Mack presented the case accurately and that is was merely a miss -communication of all parties. Ms. Ruthart also states that before pouring, they did attempt to measure the setback and came up with 5' 2", but when the survey came back it showed only 4' 7". There was further discussion between the board, applicant and City staff on the proper procedures and chain of events leading up to the concrete being poured. Andrew Mack makes note of the input form submitted: Charlotte Edwards of 724 NE l Oth St, in favor. Mr. Walker declared the public hearing closed.
