Board of Adjustment Meeting February 7, 2023 Page 3 this property allowing the new residence to be constructed. 3. There are special and unique condition(s) of restricted area, shape, topography, or physical features that exist on the subject parcel of land, which are not applicable to other parcels of land in the 2F Zoning District, and which cause unusual and practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship to the use of the property with site improvements permitted by the ordinance with the provision sought here to be varied. The residential lot was previously created, consistent with the adjoining residential lots, but was not officially platted. 4. The hardship sought to be avoided is not 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 residential lot to be split off from the commercial property in compliance with ordinance requirements. This alone, is not justification for approval of the variance, but rather it is based upon existing site improvements which seek no change or modification in the request for new construction. 5. The provision of the ordinance regulation that are sought to be varied, deprive the applicant of reasonable rights to use the property that are commonly enjoyed by other older residential properties in the 2F Residential Zoning District which are required to comply with these same ordinance provisions. Additionally, the lot width is within 80.88% of the minimum lot width requirements and would already be buildable as a platted lot without a variance. 5.
