Board of Adjustment Meeting June 6, 2023 Page 2 1. The request for variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of site 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 to be approved without a condition for variance allowing a single-family residence to be constructed. 3. There are special and unique condition(s) of existing sub -standard lot width which are not applicable to all other existing parcels of land in the SF -2 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), 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 SF -2 Residential Zoning District which are required to comply with these same ordinance provisions. Additionally, the lot width is within 91 % of the minimum lot width requirements and would already be buildable as a platted lot without a variance. 4.
