"The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property." The Property's substandard size and depth with respect to the lakeshore and adjacent properties creates difficulties which also apply to many of the properties in the same neighborhood. 9. "The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located." The Property's substandard size and applied setbacks create difficulties which also apply to many of the properties in the same neighborhood. 10. "The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant." Granting lot area, lot width, hardcover and rear yard variances are necessary for the preservation of the property right of the Applicant. 11. "The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter."Granting a hardcover variance, the lot width and area, and rear yard setback variances in this unique situation is not contrary to the intent of the zoning chapter. 12. "The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty."The variances are necessary, and do not merely serve as a convenience to the Applicant.
