Since no new construction would be done, and the existing building would
be used, consistent with the rest of the neighborhood, as a single-family
dwelling, allowing the variance would not be a detriment to the public good
or derogate from the intent of the ordinance.
}
7. Description of Proposed Work and/or Use
No construction work would take place. A new smaller lot would be
created for a single-family dwelling by moving the northerly lot line in a
southerly direction approximately 70 feet, as shown on the attached sketch
plan. The new lot would be approximately 25,000 square feet in area, with
the existing building situated on the lot.
9. Reasons Upon Which Application is Based
In 1977, applicant built a building on the subject lot, originally in-
tending it to be an auxillary storage building. The building is not now
necessary for storage, and is suitable for use as a single-family dwelling.
A variance is required because the resulting lot does not meet the size re-
quirements of the SC zone .
The location of the existing structure, suitable for use as a single-
family dwelling, on the lot is a circumstance that especially affects the
structure and does not generally affect the entire zoning district. Addition-
ally, the topography of the land is such that subject property should not even
have been included in the SC zone and made subject to the greatly increased
,restrictions on use , density and dimensions. The land is generally higher
than the 100 year flood level, and the concrete slab on which the building is
erected is one-half foot over the 100 year flood level . The topography is
therefore a condition that especially affects the land and does not generally
affect the entire zoning district.
The applicant will suffer substantial financial hardship if the-SC pro-
visions are literally enforced, because the existing building that ig:'dn the
F:
lot would be deprived of any economic value .
