Earlier this month,the applicant engaged Design Professionals,Inc.to perform boundary and topographic surveys and to prepare a site plan for submission to the Planning&Zoning Commission. At that time, it was determined that a 6,000 square feet addition did not conform to the rear yard setback requirement and that a reduced building addition would require an impervious coverage variance. The specific variance request is to Section 10.2 to allow 88.9%impervious coverage(74.2%existing, 65%allowed in the I zone, or a variance request to increase 23.9%over that allowed in the I zone). The unusual circumstances and hardships that support this application are: 1). After careful review with a building designer, it was determined that this was the only location for a building addition. 2). The amount of impervious coverage is required for access to the addition and to preserve access within the site. 3). The building addition is necessary in order to shelter products which are now stored outdoors, and for garage space for a large commercial vehicle. 4). This application is necessary to accommodate business growth and to accommodate the operational needs of the business. 5). The property to the rear is undeveloped. 6). All surrounding properties are zoned industrial and wooded. 7). At the time the industrial property was purchased,the owners and tenants anticipated erecting a 6,000 square feet addition, and were informed by the real estate broker that the site would accommodate this expansion. They were not informed that such expansion would necessitate a zoning variance for impervious coverage and a zoning variance for the rear yard setback. 8). On weekends, children associated with the use of the soccer field on the other side of Schweir Road play on the subject property, over the objections of the applicant and owner. This involves climbing on and around the large commercial vehicle and the products stored outdoors to the rear of the property. This presents a potential safety hazard,which could be avoided by placing these materials and truck within the subject addition. 9). The applicants have no available space within their building for storage of materials used in their production operations. 10). The applicants believe this variance enjoys the support of immediate neighbors. 11). This warehouse addition is necessary in order to continue operating at this site. Insofar as there is no alternative to the impervious coverage/building addition,we believe this represents a hardship.
