(a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: the number of protected trees on this site do not allow for covered parking anywhere else (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: most homes in the neighborhood are older and have covered parking furthermore the numerous protected trees have reduced the buildable area to this location 3. The variance will not alter the character of the area adjacent to the property, will not impair the use of adjacent conforming property, and will not impair the purpose of the regulations of the zoning district in which the property is located because: most homes in this area have covered parking and most of them predate the tree ordinance. ______________________________ ____________________________ Elaine Ramirez Executive Liaison Don Leighton-Burwell Chairman Diana Ramirez for
