It is very similar to the surrounding properties except that the home is in need of improvements. a 3.Will this.variance be detrimental to the public or damaging to other. property or improvements in the vicinity? No, in fact the improvements will improve the neighborhood both aesthetically and financially. 4. What hardships will result to you if the variance is not granted? ? - Will these hardships have been caused by your own action? All of the imrpovements will not be completed immediately,and will result in a hardship to neighbors and myself. They have been caused by lack of upkeep by previous owners. 5.

Related Actions In February of 1979, the City Council passed Resolution #428 imposing a building moratorium in the Meadowdale area. The subject propety is within that area. An amendment to that resolution, Resolution #431, was passed by the City Council in April of 1979 allowing remodeling work as long as no additional units are created.'' C. Description of the Proposed Action 4 ! Since the existing house is nonconforming. as to its setbacks, the owner can only do improvements which do not exceed 28% of the assessed value in any one year. As noted on Exhibit 2, the improvements include a new fireplace, update the electrical system, update the plumbing and install an electrical furnace. L I i WTI PLEASE NOTE.
