Mr. Law asked what the definition of a hardship is (Mr. Clifford stated that it has to have to do with topology, soil conditions, and/or extreme financial conditions. There is clearly a hardship but there are high standards. There has to be a hardship caused by the zoning). An audience member, Ms. Sullivan, stated that they may be able to do an easement into the neighbors lot (Mr. Clifford responded that they have to be careful about self- imposed hardships). The applicants requested a Withdrawal without Prejudice. On a motion by Ralph D. Clifford, and seconded by Jeanne K. Krieger, the Board voted 5-0 to grant the request for Withdrawal without Prejudice, dated March 22, 2018, for a VARIANCE in accordance with the Zoning By-Law (Chapter 135 of the Code of Lexington) sections 135-9.2.2.2 and 135-4.1.1, Table 2 (Schedule of Dimensional Controls) to allow a front yard setback of 21'4" instead of the required 30'.
