(3) Do unique physical characteristics of your property prevent compliance with the ordinance? If yes, please explain. 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. The existing ground elevation at the site is 905'6". The County puts height limitation zone maximum at 1009'. We are only asking for a 60-day temporary variance, (from Nov.17, 2008 until Jan, 15, 2009) while the top floor is being built. The Hotel itself(when built) needs no variance. (4) What would be the effect on this property, the community or neighborhood and the public interest if the variance were granted? How can these impacts be mitigated? These interests are listed as objectives in the purpose statement of an ordinance and may include: drainage, visual impact, and fire safety and building code requirements. Any effect on the property and surrounding community would again be only visual and temporary ( 60 days). The variance would only be needed during the construction of the 6th story and tower.
