|E. Attention Applicant: In order to prove you are entitled to a variance, you should be prepared to show how your property meets the conditions listed: The difficulty must be unique to your property, not generally shared by others in the same zoning district, and would constitute a hardship. The variance will not adversely affect the public health, safety, and welfare, or be contrary to the spirit and intent of the Ordinance. The burden of demonstrating that the above conditions exist on your property falls on you, the applicant. The Zoning Board of Appeals will not argue or present your case for you.||

In order to prove you are entitled to a variance, you should be prepared to show how your
property meets the conditions listed: The difficulty must be unique to your property, not
generally shared by others in the same zoning district, and would constitute a hardship. The
variance will not adversely affect the public health, safety, and welfare, or be contrary to the
spirit and intent of the Ordinance. The burden of demonstrating that the above conditions
exist on your property falls on you, the applicant. The Zoning Board of Appeals will not argue
