Propefi initially belongedto theWard hmily (Ilmothy Ward, hereinafter,Ward") whidr spents€wral y€ers seel(ing to develop a dry-stack storage Madna hclllty in this r€sidentdlneighborhood. His efiorb induded lelal actions against tho counfu and legal acdons with his
neighbors.
Applicgnt became tnvolv.eq w[h Ward when the opportunity arose torWa]d to reacquire lheproperty from the Bank, whk*r had foreclosed on it. We provieed 6ome funding to him, buying him
furlher iime lo seek linancing for his project. Ward was rinable to aecure finan6lng and mo'rddr topres€rve our lnvestmenl, whlch was non-refundable, w€ do3ed on lhe property piior to the
e)eiration of he purchase conract. Ward then liUgaged ageinst us, tyirig tip thb property for two
and a half years.
Thls propedy lies wlth the R-l5 zoning of New Hanoner County. Thb proporty was initally
pre8ented to us by Wad as a 3.1 acre parcel whlch could be subdiMded inlo an Cight lot
subdivblon meeting the requirements of the R-15 zone as it exlsts.
Our eurvey of the property disclosed only 2.9 acros, which limited the property to a seven
lot suMiviaion under cunent R-15 zoninq. section 51.&,2. Because of the ourchase canvino
c-haryes and the litigation e)eens€s we ieeO tne egnUr bt to make the pdjected develoimEnt
economielly viabh. ln order to do so we need a variance from the requirements of Sec,tion 51.&.2
of the New l-lanover County zoning and development r€gulations.

The hardship was not created as a result of any actions taken by the applicant or the property
owner.. This hardship was created as a result in the actual size of the property as compaied io the
original survey, provided by Ward, This was compounded by Ward with his 2 112 years ot
frivolous litigation, which led to attorney's fees and carrying charges for the debt service. which
now effects the economic viability of the project.
