V loard of Adjustment Meeting January 6, 2026 Page 2 1. The proposed lot is plated. 2. The request is for a reduced structure of 1200 SF in lieu of required 1500 F. The current land configuration is lot 1, Block 190 of the R4U Addition. Mr. Michael White has re - plated his two lots (1 &2) on Houston Street. Although there is a ten -foot (10) plated Right -of -Way (ROW) dedication fronting Houston Street, all other requirements are met. The applicant can meet the minimum structure of 1500 SF if he chooses. He is requesting for the structure variance of 300 Sf because some other residential structures within the vicinity also do not meet the minimum structure size of 1500 SE The proposed home to be constructed on the lot will be 1200 F. The proposed house meets all the other zoning requirements. 3. Invariably, apart from the Zoning Ordinance 1710 Section 9-402.1 (2) that refers to structure size, the proposed lot meets the minimum required length, width, front, rear and side yards setback per the code. The request, if approved will be in harmony with the general purposes and 'intent of area regulations for residential buildings and lot regulations in Single -Family Dwelling -(SF -2) District contained in and will protect the character of the immediate vicinity of the area. 4. There are no special or unique condition(s) of restricted area,, that exists on the subject parcel'of land that causes unusual and practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship in compliance with the provisions sought here to be varied, other than the ten (10) foot ROW dedication that was required on Houston Street that that may reduce lot depth, irrespectively. 5. The hardship sought to be avoided is not necessarily the result of (a) the applicant's own actions (self-imposed. or self-created) because some other properties enjoy same structure size within 'thin the vicinity and may cause (b) economic or financial "hardship" should the application be denied. 6. The provision of the ordinance regulation that is sought to be varied, will deprive the applicant of reasonable rights to use property that are commonly enjoyed by other properties such as structure size variance in the Single -Family Dwelling (SF -2) Zoning District which are required to comply with these same ordinance provisions. 4.
