State statutes and the Zoning Ordinance require that certain standards must be met before a <br />variance can be approved. Please address how the project meets the following criteria: <br />(1)The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general <br />welfare of the community, because: <br />(2)The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will <br />not be affected in a substantially adverse manner, because: <br />(3)The strict application of the terms of this Chapter would result in practical <br />difficulties in the use of the property, because: <br />(4)The variance granted is the minimum necessary, because: <br />(5)The variance does not correct a hardship caused by a former or current owner of <br />the property, because: <br />Variance(s) - if applicable <br />Criteria for Decision Making <br />The petitioner, with the consent of the property owner, seeks to install outside <br />storage tanks. This work will require an extension of the perimeter fencing and <br />relocation/new installation of arborvitae as well as the relocation of the trash <br />enclosure. The substantive nature of the use will not change and as such <br />should satisfy this standard. <br />The proposed changes to the site which trigger the requirement for the <br />Variances will not change the use at the site and involve more screening of the <br />outside activities at the building. Approval of the requested Variances for this <br />project should not adversely affect any surounding property. <br />The practical difficulty is that the initial design of the building and site were with <br />the rear of the property oriented toward the street. It was built under a different <br />ordinance and as part of a larger industrial park that has similar development <br />patterns. This is a side street, not one of the main thoroughfares, in Ignition Park. <br />The accessory structures are either "state of the art" (the storage tanks) or <br />required by code (dumpster enclosure) are configured in a way to maximize <br />thier utility while also minimizing the space required for them.The accessory <br />structures <br />The storage tanks are new so they do not reflect correcting a prior hardship.
