FAQ
Usually, the land owner seeking the variance files a request or written application for a variance and pays a fee. Normally, the requests go first to a zoning board. The zoning board notifies nearby and adjacent property owners. The zoning examiner may then hold a hearing to determine if the variance should be granted.
The standard of approval for a dimensional variance is practical difficulty, which the courts have defined to mean that strict compliance is unnecessarily burdensome and granting the variance would do substantial justice to the owner. The undue hardship standard for a use variance is much more difficult to meet
If you receive a notice that a neighbor or some property owner nearby to you proposes to build something that would require a zoning change or variance and you object to the purpose, you have the right to voice your opinion and try to prevent this change.
Present a (real) hardship. Be Respectful. Be Prepared. Create exhibits. Practice your argument. Review with the ZEO.
Find the mean of the data set. Add all data values and divide by the sample size n. Find the squared difference from the mean for each data value. Subtract the mean from each data value and square the result. Find the sum of all the squared differences. Calculate the variance.
Some examples of area variances might include: A request to put a fence up along your property line. A request to build a property closer than normally permitted to a roadway. A request to build a structure higher than usually permitted by the local zoning ordinance.
Essentially, a property owner requests a variance when their planned use of their property deviates from local zoning laws designed to protect property values. If granted, a variance acts as a waiver to some aspect of the zoning law or regulations.
