A building permit shall be required prior to constructing the deck. 3. The variance is approved based on the following findings: a. The variance as requested is permissible by law. The requested variance is from the dimensional requirements of the ordinance and is permissible by law. b. The strict enforcement of the ordinance would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property not caused by the landowner. The hardship is unique to the property because of the location of the existing home and sliding glass door. The Board of Adjustments found that this home is unique because it has a sliding glass door on the side of the home, as opposed to the rear. Many of the other homes in this subdivision are designed with the sliding glass door to the rear of the home. C. The granting of the variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance.
