~CUBBrON
To be entitled to a variance, 0 landowner must prove the
following four (4) elementsl
1. That an unnecessary hardship exists whioh is not
oreated by the parties seeking the varianco and which is oaused
by unique physioal oircumstances of the property,
2. That a variance is needed to enable the p~rty's
reasonable use of the property,
3. That the variance would not alter the essential
charaoter of the Distriot Qr neighborhood, or SUbstantiallY or
permanently impair the use or development of the adjaoent
proper.ty such that it is detrimental the public'. welfare, and
4. That the variance will afford the least intrusive
solution. 53 P,S. 510910.2.
The Applicant testified that a garage was required on his
property to store hio boat and that the slopo of his land
prohibited him from erecting the garage in the location of his
existing parking area. Because of the location of his existing
well and septic area, the only location for the garage to be
erected is to the rear and to the right of the home as viewed
from Booz Road. The garage would encroach into the rear yard
setback.
The Board believes the Applicants have met the first three
elements of their burden of proof as set forth above. However/

MR. HMPALAI Yes.
MR. RUNDLE I Would it be pOllllible to aotually
move that shed to a different looation on the lot and
place the garage in the general direotion of the shed and
farther forward on the lot inallmuoh 811 that ill a movable
shed?
MR. Hl\l\PALAl rhat would be pOllsible. The only
problem r lIee with that would be building it into the side
of the hill there, it would maybe oause run-oft on the
hill.
1\1110 it would be awful tough for me to back my
20 foot boat back to the garage and it would probably
still end up being within 35 feet of the side 1I0uthern
boundary with a 50 foot.
MR. RUNDLE I Presently the shed, as I Bee it on
your drawing right now, in 40 feet from th~ 1I0uthern
boundary?
MR. HAAPALA I Yes,

MR. RUNDL~I Which lIide? I know it's fairly
obvious but whioh lIide were you planning on putting the
garage doors of the garage?
MR. HAAPALA I On the west side.
MR. RUNDLE I Facing aoo~ Road?
MR. HAAPALAc Yell.
MR. RUNDLE I And, again, I don't understand why
you could not or what would be the problem with putting
the proposed garage in the prellent location of the
temporary lItoraqe sh~d?
MR. HAAPALA I I wouldn't be able to get my boat
in there, backing up. I'd have to back up the driveway
and try to get it in thera without hitting the well
calling.
Bee, the boat with the trailer ill 26 feet with a
truck. If the grass is wet you can run into the grallll and
it will start pUlIhing the truok down into the grass and
YOU'll end up jackknifed down into the pond.
That's the main reason I didn't want to put it
there. You just can't get it in. I park it there right
now but it'll really tough to get it in there.
And in the future I'll probably want to end up
getting rid of the shed and I want to get a camper and
park in there. I want to get a tag-I\-long traJ.ler.
MR. RUNDLEI Doell the Board have any questionll?

'rilE CIIAIHMAN I 'I'hill whole area we're looking at
is the north side?
MR. HEBERLIGI North taooll this way.
MR. RUNDLEI 'I'hat way with north being the to.op.
'1'IIE CIIAIRMANI 'I'his whole aroa here ill not
fq~sible to build on?
MR. IIMPALAI No.
THE CHAIRMAN I Even wlt.h excavl1tion it could not
be?
MR. HMPAr"AI You oan't do anything really with
it.
MR. RUNDLE I Mr. Chairman, you lIay this area
here. You moan the area between the hOUlle Bnd the pond?
THE CHAIRMAN I Either that or between the housi!
and Booz Road. Booz Road ill here?
MR. HAAPALA: Yell.
THE CHAIRMAN I Looking at an area of 200 feet
between the house and Dooz Road?
MR. HAAPALA I Yell. If you look here, there'll
120 at the houlIe. The houlIe is lIitting at approximately
120 feet. If you get down here to the pond you're looking
at 100 teet. There'S at leallt a 20 foot drop from the
houlIe to here and probably 75 foot.
I really wouldn't want a garage sitting in the
middle of my front yard.

get rid of the IShed. It'll too tight up ln there. 'l'hllre'lI
no room to turn around. You pull two oar~ in the driveway
and We get oompany, you oan't even-- Get parked on the
graslI and everything olse.
MR. DUNIlARl If you Were to locate the garage
over in the area where the existing movable shed is, you
would have more drlvewny area?
MR. HAAPALAI Veil. The only other thing I have
to say about putting it on the side there is thd baclt, the
Water runs down off the hill pretty good and my driveway
wuhell out, being on II alant like l.t ill. It don't lIeem
too bod, but if you move it lItrllight up in here.

MR. HAAPALA I 'l'hill would be looking east.

MR. RUNDLE I And the grallsy area on the right of

MA. HAAPALA I Yell.
MR. MreLLlloUSEI Can I add 1I0mething to that?
MR. RUNDLEI Sur~.
MR. MELLHOUSEI Awhile ago, Fred, you were
talking about him straightening the driveway out. It you
look at that picture, that you have in you~ hand right
now, that picture was taken right where the turn of that
driveway la.
If you actually lItand out there the t~ouble with
thill bank is, all you go up the bank it qoell up this way
plull alllo goes up this way. That'll where the problem ill
oreated.
MR. RUNDLE I Realizing now what you've jUllt
testified to ill impossible to decipher for the
lItenoqrapher. Could you try to--
MR. MELLHOUBEI Alright. It would be the eallt
lIide looking at the road, the property from Booz Road,
you'r$ looking ea~t. The property goell uphill on the eallt
side and it also goes uphill on the south side.

garage doors on the north lIide ot the garage or facing
your house?
MR. HAAPAr,AI Veil.
MR. RUNDLE I Would it not be pOllllible to pUll a
vehiole straight in from your driveway, the way it is now,
and back your boat into the garage?
MR. HAAPALA I No.
MR. RUNDLEI Why ill that?
MR. HAAPALA I It'll too long.
