DECLARATIONS OF APPLICANT
Please answer all questions
What are the physical characteristics, (i.e. topography, shape
of lot, etc.) which create a hardship for you in regard to
development of your property?
The design of the sewer connection point for this lot and subsequent change
in building height restrictions caused a hardship. The sewer connection
is located on the highest point of land and at the very )ack of the lot.
This situation has made the proper plumbing of two floors impossible.(see drawing incl.)
2. How does your property differ from other property in the same
vicinity?
The other residences in this area do not have this situation existing.
Most have a downhill connection and all are in closer proximity to their
appropriate sewer stub. All have two properly plumbed floors.
3. Will this variance be detrimental to the public or damaging to
other property or improvements in the vicinity?
TlAis requested variance would not be detrimental to the public nor damaging
to other property in the area. In fact we are trying to reduce the impact
of this home on the surrounding area. (Solar, Street side, small design
less lot coverage.)
4. What hardships will result to you if the variance is not granted?
Will these hardships have been caused by your own action?
The lack of this variance will not allow the owners to properly plumb two
levels of a residence. This hardship was caused by the city's sewer layout
and subsequent change in building height restrictions.
5. Can you m , ake reasonable use of your property without the variance?
The alternatives allowed without this variance are not reasonable uses
for the property nor a fair condition for the owner.
