Findings & Analysis
9
• Conditions
preventing
application
of
the
zoning
standard:
– standard setbacks reduce the size of the sheltered
open space and limits number of individuals and type
of use
• Standard deprives appellant common rights:
– neighbors have zero setback from the property lines

Findings & Analysis
10
• Hardship not the result of actions by the applicant:
– amount of shade allowed per code causes applicant
to choose one use over another
• Interfere/alter legal use of adjacent properties:
– located adjacent to street and commercial use to the
east
– five-foot setbacks allow for proper drainage

Recommendation
11
If the Board decides to grant the variance, it should be 
subject to the following stipulation:
Development shall be in conformance with applicable site, 
floor and elevation plans, date stamped July 8, 2024.
