Summary
A homeowner on an angled, polygon-shaped lot sought relief from the 25-foot rear setback to build an attached covered patio and bathroom addition. The case turned on whether a variance can be limited to one corner of a lot and whether the lot geometry constitutes an undue hardship.

Impact analysis
The applicant said redesigning to meet the setback would add roughly $15,000 to $20,000 in costs.
If approved, the homeowner would have gained patio space and property value; with denial, surrounding lots keep a uniform 25-foot rear setback standard.
The applicant cannot build his desired attached patio design without redesign or further relief.
