PETITIONER’S LETTER OF INTENT

Please describe in detail the proposed project, reason the variance and/or special use permit is being
requested and any additional information that may be helpful to the Zoning Board of Appeals in deciding this
appeal: (attach additional pages if needed)
The Polo Grounds Condominium Board of Managers is requesting a variance specifically from Sec 116-98B(1)
related to Residential Lighting. We would like an exemption from replacing our existing (49) outdoor
lamppost heads to the fully shielded version as specified in Sec 116-101B, when a repair is required.

See attached for further request details.

TO BE COMPLETED ONLY WHEN A USE VARIANCE IS BEING REQUESTED:
A Use Variance is requested because the applicable regulations and restrictions in the Zoning Code of the
Town of Aurora have caused unnecessary hardship as demonstrated by the following:

1)  | cannot realize a reasonable return on my property for each and every permitted use allowed in the
  current zoning classification as demonstrated by the accompanying financial evidence (provide financial
  evidence to support your argument).
  Financial Evidence Provided  Yes  No  (financial evidence is required per NYS Town Law)

2)  Describe why your alleged hardship relating to the subject property is unique and does not apply
  to other properties in the zoning district or neighborhood:

3)  Describe why you believe that the essential character of the neighborhood/community will not
  change if the Zoning Board of Appeals grants you a use variance:

4)  Is your need for a use variance a result of you own actions (is your difficulty self-created)?  Please
explain:
