Lot Tract
Describe in detail the nature of the proposed use, including what aspects of the
project require a Variance.
The proposed additions consist of a master bedroom. and a family room. Thug
additions will require a variance because due to the way the residence was
originally oriented on the site. A portion of each addition falls within the
required twenty foot side yards.
Criteria to be satisfied for grant of Variance
Such change is based upon the following described exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances or conditions that do not apply generally to other property in the
same vicinity and zone.
The existing'residence was sited in such a wav as to place it already within
the required side yard, making it impossible to maintain the required side.yards
in the future, and orientation of°additions of equal size towards the rear of the
lot would consume an already small rear yard.
Such change will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to
the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone where property•is located because.
