The variance is bein� requested because it �vorks a hardshi�> on us due to: The lot is 5 ft :vide wherea� if the 3� ft. ,etb;�.ck re- quirement was �net with 3�� ft on the nort}i side, 7 ft on �outh si�le, and the place^�ent of a t�revious utility ;>ole consequentl,y the lot could not be used for a builrlin�; Lot, and it has no other use lvailable. Also �ve have a.Lready s��ent :;t"�o, 000. ')� i on this Project. The Plans �vere approve�i , Pernits �:�ere �ranted , Paid � for, foundations dug, were insE�ected, aN�)roved , cement Poured , an�i drivewa.y culvert ��laced. If the builcier h1r1 not taken l.on�;er on a Previous job, the fra�nin�; and roof woulrl be �ione bY �19t ��c�k before June 2�. The time of stop �vorlc order. i7e were never tolr� of tftis i�roble•n in a�lv:in�:e by �nyone in the planning de;�t. and we have owned the lot sin�:e 19'J�l. B. The house we are build in� is not sub jecteri to any f l.on�l i.n�; �roble as, and roof drainage �ti�ill be direr.ted into the FPWC2` 50 there �voulc9 b� no adverse eifect on water quality in the strea�n. ':Je are in no waV doing an,ything to effect the the si�e or quality, or the flo�v it��lf of the existing drai.nage. The stream rnxtlines m�r prouerty, a� the lot is 4 to 6 ft above the strearn leael, so 1 future resident would not have any flooding ,roblem. 'Phere i;, so�ne floodin� of a corner of an adjacent proE�ert,y to the north and �vest because thnt property is considerably lower. C. The proE�osed building does not contribi�Le detri.mentally to the public welfare nor is it injurious to I�roPerty i.n the viciiiity. 'Phe Property is above the 12' wide strea�n. 'Che strea�n is not tou�he:i or tam�ered with in an,y �va.y, and a green belt ha:; been established be- tween stream, lot, and builc9ing foundation. The house is ?_7 ft on north side and has NO g�;C1:SS UN NURTH S [U1:. 'i D. The granting of such a variance will not lilversel.y eftect the comprehensive general pla�as the designation is a ,,ingle fa•nily resideritial, and the 1�roPosed use is single family resic3ent. The new houses in area have juet met the mini�num setbacks and i��e should be allow to construct a single family house as other; on similar size lots have done. This also is the last house being built on this short street. IN SU}7�'MRY: �9e have done all we could in good faith to comply with and be guided by advice, counsel, and directives of �it,y rlanning and Building Departments, as well as Professional9 in the building I industry. I dun't think an average citizen can be exoected to do more, and yet we find ourselves in a situation whereby refusal of our request would render our lot useless. t4e would lose close to �;g0,000.00 not to mention many other intangebles. ive trust that better judgements will prevail and otir variance request will be granted.
