I don't think I would have had such an opinion. Here's why. A variance is granted for a specific request. A person requests a variance to build an addition, a garage, an accessory building. The variance is only good for a particular request. It does not authorize any other future projects. The approval of a setback variance to put an addition on a house does not authorize another addition to be put on the house at the same setback. A new variance would be required for an additional addition. (That was supposed to be clever.) It may be easy to get the next variance because one has already been granted but, nonetheless,the next variance would require separate approval. A grant of a variance has to be based on a finding of unnecessary hardship. Right now the proper definition of unnecessary hardship is in dispute. Some, including the DNR, believe unnecessary hardship is based on the no reasonable use standard. Others, including me,believe it is based on weighing the intent of the regulation against the harm caused to the regulation by granting the variance. Irregardless of how the definition dispute plays out, unnecessary hardship is the standard upon which a request for a variance is evaluated and each project must be reviewed using that standard and justified on its own individual set of facts. Hence, a variance cannot give authorization for future projects. Greg -----Original Message----- From: Rod Eslinger Sent: Tuesday,November 18,2003 1:36 PM To: Greg Timmerman Subject: Variances-Re-establishing setbacks Greg, You and I had a conversation earlier this year regarding whether or not a variance that had been previously granted by the Board of Adjustment allowed additions to a structure without further variances. You had indicated once a variance is granted for a structure(addition)to remain or to encroach into the setback, it becomes the new setback for the structure (varying from the actual setback standards). The remaining property still would be subject to the current setback standards for any other building project not associated with the variance. I'm actually writing this email to re-affirm with my understanding of variances and their effect after the board grants them. It is safe to allow an addition on to a home that was previously granted a variance provided that the addition goes no closer than what the original variance allowed (this assume all other zoning regulations are met). Is this correct? We talked about a couple of terms as they relate to nonconforming structures. One is legal nonconforming and I couldn't remember the other that relates to variance cases. Please point me in the right legal direction. Thanks for you time in advance Rod Rod Eslinger Zoning Specialist 1 M November 140', 2003 Mr. Rod Eslinger, Zoning Specialist St. Croix County Zoning Office 1101 Carmichael Road Hudson, WI 54016 Dear Mr. Eslinger: Re: phone call a week ago asking about variance procedure for projecting our kitchen at the front of our home in Hammond Township 6' closer to County Highway J. Enclosed is a photo copy of the variance we received in 1979. Also is a site plan for the proposed 6 foot addition to our kitchen. The distance from the center of County Road J to the front or south edge of our current home measured at 108 feet. Please let us know if the current variance of 103 feet is valid. Would you allow us to go an additional foot to make it an even 6 feet? Sincerely, Mrs. Gene E.
