We wish to utilize and add on to the current concrete pad that already exists on the property. The following addresses the five factors on the ZBA application: 1: The requested variance will not produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood. The proposed improvement is consistent with the style, scale, and use of nearby properties. It will not negatively affect adjoining properties in any way and my neighbors have been informed of the proposed change and have no issues with the plan. The variance requested is the minimum necessary to allow reasonable use of the property. 2: While it would be feasible to completely tear up the existing concrete pad and have a new one installed, it would greatly increase the cost of the project and would provide no additional benefits to the neighbors and the character of the neighborhood. 3: The requested variance is not substantial. The current setback of shed and pad is 2’, as opposed to 5’. Granting this variance will not significantly impact neighbors or change the character of the neighborhood. 4: The proposed variance will not create any adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. In fact, the new shed will be much more aesthetically appealing than the old one. 5: The alleged difficulty was self-created, as the vinyl shed was placed on this concrete pad 20 years ago in my ignorance of the setback regulation and by a contractor who failed to inform me of the setback regulation. Thank you for your consideration of this application.
