(3) Do unique physical characteristics of your property prevent compliance with the ordinance? If yes, please explain. The required Site Plan and/or Survey submitted with your application must show these features. Unique physical limitations of the property such as steep slopes or wetlands that are not generally shared by other properties must prevent compliance with the ordinance requirements. The circumstances of an applicant (growing family, need for a larger garage, etc.) are not a factor in deciding variances. Nearby ordinance violations, prior variances, or lack of objections from neighbors do not provide a basis for granting a variance. (see attached Supplement) (4) What would be the effect on this property, the community or neighborhood, and the general public interest if the variance were granted? Describe how negative impacts would be mitigated. The required Site Plan and/or Survey submitted with your application must show any proposed mitigation features. These interests may be listed as objectives in the purpose statement of an ordinance and may include: Promoting and maintaining public health, safety and welfare; protecting fish and wildlife habitat, maintaining scenic beauty, minimizing property damages; ensuring provision of efficient public facilities and utilities; requiring eventual compliance for nonconforming uses, structures and lots; drainage; visual impact, fire safety and building code requirements; and any other public interest issues.
