James contracted with an unlicensed individual who had some carpentry experience. Apparently attracted by a very iow price, l,~rs. James nor the laborer secured a building permit or made anv inquiry as to the requirements of the cons~ruc~ron er placement-of ~he tended building. As a review of'the criteria for hardship tile snarl finds tile following: 1. No special conditions or circumstances exist which are pecu- liar to the land, structure or building involved which are non applicable to others in the neighborhood In face. the [opography, lot sizes and general conditions are similar those others in the neighborhood. There is eothing peculiar as concerns this lot or building alone that does non exist on neighboring properties in the general area. 2. A literal interpretation of the provision of this ordinance wonld not deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the neighborhood. The applicant sited a situation at 1012 Desoto Avenue. This has no bearing on the case. 3. The granting of a special use permi[ will confer upon this applicant special priveliges which are not extended to e~hers in the neighborhood or the remainer of tile County. 4. The special conditions and circuustances do result from action of the applicant. This applicant precipi~ted the entire in- cident as there was no violation prior to the commencement of the additional automobile storage area. Therefore, as the applicant, in the opinion of the staff, has failed to meet not only one but all of the requirements of the hardship criteria required by the ordinance, tile request shonld be denied.
