FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: as the house is built in 1948 and since it was annexed, it was considered existing non- conforming as it has a 24 ft 8 inches setback, current code would permit a new house to have a 15 foot setback, because it’s non-conforming, it’s a little odd that its not allowed to enjoy a 15 foot setback. 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: preserving the house and making it livable and more enjoyable for the neighbors.. (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: not many existing non-conforming houses within the area, the area of character the variance will not alter the character. 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: several houses in the neighborhood all enjoy a smaller setback and extending the front porch will just bring more openness and general neighborly feeling to the area.

BOARD’S DECISION: The public hearing was closed by Madam Chair Jessica Cohen, Vice-Chair Melissa Hawthorne’s motion to Approve; Board member Suzanne Valentine second on 9-0 votes; GRANTED. FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: DR zoning tracks require 10 acre minimum and a 100 foot of lot width, as they are landlocked under a current configuration, giving them access to Dessau, is what is needed. 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: while two lots exist in the configuration and have amicably gotten along, in order to make it legal, need to have some kind of access and relief on lot size in order to be able to get back there. (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: usually don’t see a cemetery lot buried in the back and it probably works in association with the church. 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: as the variance would allow a subdivision and access to the property that has been landlocked for a number of years.

BOARD’S DECISION: The public hearing was closed by Madam Chair Jessica Cohen, Vice-Chair Melissa Hawthorne’s motion to Approve with the conditions of a rainwater capture system being installed and the carport remains in place, only the column can be moved; Board member Bianca Medina-Leal second on 9-0 votes; GRANTED WITH THE CONDITIONS OF A RAINWATER CAPTURE SYSTEM BEING INSTALLED AND THE CARPORT REMAINS IN PLACE, ONLY THE COLUMN CAN BE MOVED. FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: the subject property provides access to the adjacent properties reducing a significant portion of impervious cover to provide access for the neighbors, and that drive is completely counted against this lot. 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: the building and the driveway are permitted and constructed when the historic estate was divided this joint access easement, don’t see many joint access driveways that go through the property that completely get counted under one lot and the angle in order to get into the carport is a little extreme. (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: as the code changed since the original subdivision occurred and that it is born directly on this particular property and the natural site condition, drainage, protected trees just make it a little bit difficult to provide mitigation. …

(C) The height restrictions of this section do not apply to an ornamental fence. (D) Except as otherwise provided in this section, a solid fence constructed along a property line may not exceed a height of six feet measured from the natural grade up. (E) If there is a change in grade of at least one foot measured along any run of a solid fence along a property line, then the portion of the fence where the grade change occurs may be constructed to a maximum height of seven feet.

BOARD’S DECISION: The public hearing was closed by Madam Chair Jessica Cohen, Vice-Chair Melissa Hawthorne’s motion to Approve; Board member Suzanne Valentine second on 9-0 votes; GRANTED. FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: the current lot doesn’t allow a reasonable use based on the surrounding lots and as this is a very diverse neighborhood with a lot or different older homes of all sorts shapes and sizes and different lot configurations, this is one of a few that is on two public streets adjacent lots all enjoy two family residential. 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: as it is deminimus request to put an apartment unit above the existing garage, and that it is one of two mid-block properties that actually have a public street frontage (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: this is the only one of 7 lots n the NCCD that faces 2 residential streets on the front and back. 3.

FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: the site was originally developed under prior ordinance before the current impervious cover requirements to meet code, a significant amount of impervious coverage would need to be removed, and the owners have been reducing the overall impervious coverage, over the past few years. 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: the property was plotted back in 1959 is smaller than the surrounding properties, and as such impervious coverage, non-conforming situation with impervious coverage, unlike the larger properties surroundings. (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: it’s a smaller property that was platted earlier than the surrounding properties. 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: the proposed plan actually does reduce the impervious request a reduction of the impervious coverage for the lot and although the proposed changes are on the front of the structure it wont change the overlook of the building as it exists.
