Board of Adjustment Meeting February 7, 2023 Page 2 improvement regulations contained in the Zoning Ordinance 1710 Exhibit 9B and the Subdivision Ordinance 1315 Exhibit 9A; and will protect the character of the immediate vicinity of the area. 2. The approval of the variance for lot width will allow the plat approval condition to be met for this property allowing the new two-family residence to be constructed. 3. There are special and unique condition(s) of ROW dedication that are required on the subject parcel of land, which are not applicable to other existing 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 stated that there is a hardship for the residential lot to be platted with the five (5') ft. of ROW dedication required by ordinance. This alone, is not justification for approval of the variance, but rather it is based upon existing site parcel dimensions to support 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 99.13% of the minimum lot width requirements and would already be buildable as a platted lot without a variance. 4. Adjournment. APPROVED THE 6TH DAY OF JUNE, 2023. Chairperson
