establish EACH of the following, in accordance with Section 350-102 of the Zoning Ordinance:
. Essential Character. Indicate how the variance will impact the essential character of the neighborhood. No undesirable change in the essential character of the neighborhood will occur and no detriment will be created to nearby properties if the area variance is granted because:
The proposed chicken coop and run wi t_ change ential character of the neighborhood coop and run will be located in the rear yard next to the existing shed and will be maintained in a clean and orderly condition, The structure will be residential in appearance and will not create a detriment to neighboring properties.
. Alternates Considered: Indicate the benefit sought by the granting of the variance and why the benefit cannot be achieved by some other feasible method other than an area variance. Identify the alternatives to the variance that have been pursued, and why they are not feasible (include evidence where necessary to support your conclusion):
Alternative locations on the property were considered. The proposed location next to the existing shed provides the most practical placement while keeping the coop and run
containe thin the rear yard and minim isibility an act on neighborin
properties. Other locations would be more visible or less suitable for the property layout.
. Significance. Indicate why the requested variance is not a substantial or contextually significant deviation from the current code/regulations (is the difference between what the code requires and what you're requesting significant):
The requested variance is limited to the placement of a small residential chicken coop and run. The coop is approximately 6.3 feet by 3 feet and the proposed use involves only a
ll backyard he request will not substantially alter the use o acter of property or surrounding neighborhood.
. Physical and environmental conditions. Describe any potential impacts on factors such
as drainage, traffic, dust, noise, odor, public services (e.g., compliance with the Town Code requirements to be varied would result in structures over an easement, removal of mature trees) provide mitigation efforts if any are to be utilized:
No significant adverse physical or environmental impacts are anticipated. The chickens will not create additional traffic or demand _on public services. The coop and run will be
reqularly cleaned and maintained to control odor, waste, and pests, No mature trees will be removed and existing drainage will not be altered.
. Not self-created. The alleged difficulty was not self-created because (consideration shall be relevant to the decision of the Board of Appeals but shall not necessarily preclude the granting of the area variance):
The request results from the existing configuration of the property and the need to locate the coop and run_in a practical rear-yard location that minimizes visibility and potential impacts on neighboring properties. The proposed location next to the existing shed was
selected after considering alternative locations and is believed to create the least impact on the surrounding properties.
