SECTION 1V: REASONS FOR VARIANCE AND BURDEN OF PROOF RL M- I -S 14. If necessary, please give additional information not included in your variance request on page one (I) about what the requested variance is for: The existing structure meets the setbacks for a residential structure; however, a special exception request has been submitted for this structure to be converted into a community center. If the special exception is approved, the structure will not meet the front vard setback for a non-residential structure. 15. Explain why this request for a variance from existing zoning regulations should be approved. (Use separate sheet if required) - The structure on the woperb was built in 1976 as a residential dwelling and it meets the required setbacks for a residence. Approving this variance will not change the location of the structure. nor will the building be expanded into the front yard; it will onlv increase the required setback for a non-residential structure. 16. How will a variance from the requirements of Chapter 12 not be contrary to the public interest where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this chapter would result in unnecessary hardship? The structure was built in 1976 to meet the required residential structure setbacks. It would be cost prohibitive to move the structure to meet the required non-residential structure setbacks. 17. The Board of Adjustment shall find that the following requirements are met in order to approve a variance. Please provide information to tell how or why the following do or do not apply: (Use separate sheets if required) A. What special conditions and circumstances exist on your property, land, structures, or buildings, which are peculiar to the land and/or structures which are not applicable to other properties? The structure was built to meet the residential setbacks. Converting it into a non-residential structure will cause it to not be in compliance with the Countv Code.

16 B. The literal interpretation of i.., provisions of Chapter 12 would deprive the applicant of the rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the conditions of this Chapter. All residential structures in this district are required to have a 25 foot front setback. This building is being converted into a communitv center to service the residents of Highwav Park. C. The existing special conditions and circumstances listed in 17 above did not result from any previous actions on the applicant's part.
