Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. Blesener noted that a hardship must be present in order to warrant the granting of a variance. Keis stated that he would consider the need to remove the existing large spruce tree in order to put in a T turnaround a hardship. LaValle also pointed out the safety issue related to backing onto County Road B -2 East given the traffic volumes of motorized, non - motorized, and pedestrian traffic. Allan stated that she felt the same as she did in December, that there was no hardship present and that a T turnaround could be installed rather than allow the second curb cut. There was no one else present wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by LaValle, seconded by Allan, the public hearing was closed. Mr. LaValle introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2006 -3 -68 — GRANTING A VARIANCE ALLOWING A SECOND DRIVEWAY CURB CUT FOR THE SINGLE - FAMILY PROPERTY AT 601 EAST COUNTY ROAD B -2 AS REQUESTED BY MIKE AND HEIDI MURPHY ON THE BASIS OF THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH ARE UNIQUE TO THIS PROPERTY AND CONSTITUTE A HARDSHIP: 8 -10-
