FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: they attempted to restore a hoe in the West Line National Register Historic District to its original state but are prevented from doing so because of the extent of demolition work required. 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: this building is contributing to the West Line National Register Historic District the building is a non-complying structure that sits over the 25’ front yard setback at 21,7’, proposed work will remove non-original portions of the house at the rear and non-original front porch infill, restoring the house back to its historic footprint. (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: the other buildings in the immediate area have mostly been restored as we are attempting to do 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: this restoration work will only add to the historic character of the adjacent properties and to the West Line National Register Historic District. ______________________________ Elaine Ramirez Executive Liaison ____________________________ Jessica Cohen Chair for
