b.
Justification of Variance: In
order, for a variance to be granted, the applicant must demonstrate to the Board
that strict application of the terms of the Town ordinance would result in undue
hardship to the applicant. The
Board may grant a variance from the dimensional standards of a zoning ordinance
when strict application of the ordinance to the applicant and the applicant’s
property would cause a practical difficulty and when all of the following
conditions exist:
A.
The land in question cannot yield a reasonable return unless the variance
is granted.
B.
The need for a variance is due to the unique circumstances of the
property and not to the general conditions of the neighborhood.
C.
The granting of a variance will not alter the essential character of the
locality.
D.
The hardship is not the result of action taken by the appellant or a
prior owner.
You
are required to state your reasoning (justification) for why the above
conditions are true with respect to your property and the variance you are
seeking. On a separate sheet of
paper, state specifically your reasoning (justification) for each condition (A,
B, C, and D).
