Practical Difficulties Statement Should you feel the practical difficulties cannot fully be described in the above criteria, describe the practical difficulties preventing compliance with Zoning Ordinance requirements in the following lines (attach additional sheets if necessary): #2. "The Dliaht of the land owner" The existing lot has an unusual triangilar shape which will not allow a home to be built with a lakeview that meets the set backs. The lot was drawn up many years ago when the codes were far less stringent. #4."Economic Considerations" Our primary reason for the lot line redraw is to reconfigure the lot to allow a home to be built away from the road and with lake views. The odd trianfular shape will not allow a home to be built that can meet the set backs. This practical difficutly keeps the land from being developed to the full potential and best use.
