PRINTCM. riROUl WINK. s > (continued from Variance Form) member of this office in an attempt to fully comply with all provi­ sions of the ordinance and in fact, thought that we had done so. We have now been informed that our side yard setback is iiot sufficient. The placement of the home was not at random but was done in order to get the best use and enjoyment from the property. As the attached photograph , which is marked applicant's exhibit A, will show, placement of the home nine (9) feet to the east would cut off the driveway and access to the lot. There isn't sufficient room between the township road and the trailer house to allow for parking or a driveway, and cutting off the driveway would bring the necessity of parking along the township right-of-way. This, we felt, would bring about a genuine inconvenience and also result in a traffic hazard. The only alternative would cause an.uniq^zcdhard- ship and depreciate the beauty and value of t lis and surrounding pro­ perties. As exhbit A would indicate, the only other possible room for a driveway would be on the extreme eastern border of the property. This would necessitate cutting down the only trees on the property and the filling in of a rather large, natural hole directly to the north of the trees. It is our feeling that the destruction of these trees would be by far more antagonistic to the policies of Shoreline Management than would be variance from the side yard setback. As exhibit B would indicate, the nearest home to our western border is well over 100' away and therefore, strict compliances would not be necessary to avoid damaging the rights of other persons or property, and in view of the rather unique problem of our trees, we don't feel that the present location is contrary to the public inter­ est or to the Management policies of this district. Failure to grant the variance as stated above, will affectively cut off our access to the lot or in the alternative, greatly ainiin- ish the aesthetic quality of the area and the result would be that we would be unable to enjoy and use our property in the same manner as the surrounding land owners. In addition to tiie piotleiiis dis­ cussed above, moving the foundation, j)lumbing, and electrical lines would cost an estimated $3,000.0G-$4,000.00. We feel that all of these problems cause an undo hardship and are unique to this property and not shared by properties in the immediate vicinity. Granting of the variance would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood and would, in fact, enhance the surrounding properties by allowing the trees to remain. Since there is no danger of a cluster or conglomerate of structures result­ ing from the present location, granting of the variance would in no way be in conflict with the objectives of the ordinance or the com­ prehensive plan.
