The applicant has submitted findings of fact for the required four items with the Variance Application. A variance from the terms of this ordinance shall be granted by the Board of Adjustment when a written application demonstrates all the following: (1) Unnecessary hardship would result from the strict application of the regulation. – Before purchasing this property I completed my due diligence by confirming with PCEHD, Inspections and with the “Interim Planner”, albeit a conservation, I was told that this property could be used in the same manner as it had been used previously. (A home placed where one once was). (2) The hardship results from conditions that are peculiar to the property, such as location, size, or topography. – This property has it own address, but shares the total parcel w/5934 Boston Rd. The business will remain and the home would be placed back where it once was. (3) That the hardship did not result from actions taken by the applicant or property owner. – The Property was purchased via Judicial Sale / Bids and upset process. It was sold as one parcel w/2 addresses. (4) The requested variance is consistent with the spirit, purpose, and intent of the regulation, such as that public safety is secured and substantial justice is achieved. – The neighborhood would not be affected, as it embraced this home at this location for years. In addition to the grounds for granting variances specified by Section15.8-2(3) the Board of Adjustment may grant a variance when it finds that the grant of the requested variance will cause no significant hazard, annoyance or inconvenience to the owners or occupants of nearby property, will not significantly change the character of the neighborhood or reduce the value of nearby property, will not impose any significant cost burden upon the Person County and will not create any significant obstacle to implementation of the zoning plan evidenced by this ordinance or the adopted development plan of Person County.
