The fol.lot•Iing are the Special circumstances which apply tomy property which deprive me of rig3ils and privi_lcgcs which are enjoyed by. other properties in the vicinity under the identical zone classification. My building in in an area zoned R-3 of mostly older buildings of which the larger ones have been converted to multiple familyrresidences. Many do not conform to literal requirements of this title because of pre -code conversion or illegal conversions. My building is large, obsolete and expensive to heat. It is in need of conversion to make it rentabie and needed improvements economically leasaule. However;. present lot width requirements prevent conversion. When this•building'was constructed, the lot width was considered adequate. POINT 2. The variance I am requesting will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity of a zone in which my property is located because: Although a variance is required, the building and parking will be greatly improved from what it presently is. Rooms on the narrow side of the lot will.not be changed in use or in number. The nearest house is 11.5feet away. Off street parking will be o y 9 inches short of the requirement where now there is no offstreet parking whatsoever. This is an area close to stores and good bus service. Much needed low rent u51 s will be preserved and increased in qua.�ity and number. On street parking will be relieved rather than worsener. Any increased trarflic wiii not e e rimen a Te-U&-u-F— the back of the property boruers cn en PA zone. 11013T 3. if this variance is.not granted, an unnecessary hardship will continue to the owner of this property, the cause of which is beyond his control b^cause: This buildin@ ur:s built when the lot width was considered adequate. It was built when heating costs were nominal and large rooms desirable. It is a solid, well constructed building'that now has an obsolete floor plan. It is hard to rent and expensive to heat. The expense of needed improvements Fan only be justified i_'. the building is converted to R-3 usage. 'FONT 4. So as not to grant a special. privilege to me by the-granting of this variance I submit the following conditions to be imposed so as not to cause inconsistencies with the limitations upon other properCies in the vicinity and zone in which I am located. That no additional rooms be added on the narrow side of the lot and that the use of the existing rooms shall remain the same;
