This part of the application is to explain how the project meets cnteria (a) and (b). 1. Attach a detailed description (2-3 pages) explaining the following: • The practical difficulties or hardships that would result from strict application of the Rule. • How these difficulties or hardships result from conditions that are unique to the property involved. • Why reconfiguring and/or reducing the built upon area to preserve a greater portion of the riparian area is not feasible on this project. If economic hardship is the major consideration, then include a specific explanation of the economic hardship and the proportion of the hardship to the entire value of the project. Part 3: Water Quality Protection NOTE: This part of the application is to explain how the project meets criterion (c). the general purpose and intent of the Rule would be preserved, water quality would be protected and substantial justice would be done if the variance were granted __ _ -__ - _ 2.
