§ 11.20. Decision.


Latest version.
  • A.

    No variance shall be granted by the ZBA unless it finds:

    i.

    That there are special circumstances or conditions, fully described in the findings of the ZBA, applying to the lot or structure for which the variance is sought, which are peculiar to such lot or structure and do not apply generally to lots or structures in the neighborhood and which have not resulted from any willful act of the applicant subsequent to the date of adoption of the regulation from which the variance is sought, whether in violation of the provisions herein or not;

    ii.

    That, for reasons fully set forth in the findings of the ZBA, the aforesaid circumstances or conditions are such that the particular application of the provisions of these regulations would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of the lot or structure, that the granting of the variance is necessary for the reasonable use of the lot or structure, and that the variance as granted by the ZBA is the minimum adjustment necessary to accomplish this purpose;

    iii.

    That the granting of the variance shall be in harmony with the general purposes, and intent of these regulations and the town's plan of conservation and development, and shall not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare
