The requested variance will not alter the character of the neighborhood for the following reasons: 4. That the alleged hardship has not been self-created.An applicant(whether the property owner or one acting on behalf of the properry owner)cannot claim"unnecessary hardship" if[hat hardship was created by the applicant, or if the applicant acquired the property knowing(orwas in a position to know)the conditions for which the applicanC is seeking reliei.The hardship has not been self-created for the following reasons: Revised ol/2019 �ON;NG BOa�;.^�2�,4��_i.��1'1�:/.4 7 r:,V F�R rt P,;��6 AREA VARIANCE—PLFASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING(add additional inFormaeion as necessary): Appendix A, Deflnition of The applicanc requesu relief from [he following Zoning Ordinance article(s) Accessorv Structure Dimensionaf Requiremen[s From To Hardship of rypography �steep hdl)Reques6ng front setback be 60ft 50ft chanaed from 60ft to 50 ft _ O�her.

Whether the beneft sought bythe applicant can be achieved by other feasible tneans. Identify what alternatives co:he variance have been e�cplored (alternacive designs,attempts to purchase land, etc.)and why they are not feasible. "CITYOF SARATOGASPRINGSZONING ORDINANCE Ra�o Zonin�Di�+��rs--Pape 4 'I In the RR Disirict, more than one principal building for additional single-family homes and related accessory structures are permitted." Building a second single family home on the property is not needed or wanted, even though this is permitted in the RR district. This s�ace could not be accommodated inside the existing house, or an addition addad to the house, because the only way to o , house, is to flnish the interior of a detached accessory structure. 2. Wiiether grancing the variance will produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. Grancing the variance will not create a decriment to nearby properties or an undesirable change in the neighborhood character for che following reasons: Accessory structures are allowed; a finished interior of an accessory structure will not be seen by anyone so from the outside, it wiii iooic exacllKGame as aii u�iii�ii��'� a��^""on/ rafnro nnt nn�a anv iinrlesirahle r.hannpc in th neighborhood.

The requested variance is not substantial for the following reasons: The vanance is#iny, only 140 square feet inside of an accessory structure; buildings under 144 square feet do not need building permits (except if they are flnished on the inside) 4. Whether the variance will have adverse physical or environmental effects on neighborhood or district. The requested variance will not have an adverse physical or environmental effect on che neighborhood or district for the following reasons: The building is small, only 140 square feet. Nobody will see the finished inside of the building from the outside and therefore, there will be no physicai or environmental effects on the neighborhood. From the outside, it will look like any other small accessory structure which are permitted. 5. Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created (although this does not necessarily preclude the granting of an area variance). Explain whether the alleged difficulty was or was not self-created: This was self-created.
