4 The last Variance request is from the requirement of providing a screening hedge of plants along the south 20 ft. wide Side Residential Bufferyard of the proposed parking area consisting of shrubs 3 ft. on-center along the length of the parking area to no additional screening. The request for this variance is due to the fact that the Petitioners plan to provide an evergreen screen along the entire south side of the proposed parking area as shown. The Ordinance would require an additional screen of small shrubs behind the proposed evergreen screen which would not be needed to provide a visual buffer between the parking area and the adjacent property. The petitioners would not to be required to have two screening buffers in the same area. The Petitioners do not believe approval of this variance would adversely affect any surrounding property. The Petitioners and contingent purchasers would ask the Board Members to agree that approval of the above described Variances and the Special Exception Use will not have a detrimental affect for this area, nor would the property values, public's health, safety, morals, or general welfare be adversely affected. The Petitioners contends that the strict application of the terms of the Zoning ordinance will constitute an unusual and unnecessary hardship as applied to the property for which the Variances and the Special Exception Use are sought: that the need for the Variances and the Special Exception Use arises from such condition peculiar to the property in the same Zone: and that the use or value of the area adjacent to the property described in the petition for the Variances and Special Exception Use will not be injurious to the public health, Safety, morals, or general welfare of the community. I attest, under the penalties for perjury, that the foregoing representations are true. Iii- -4 Michael J. Danch President Danch, Harner & Associates, Inc. •
