hardships: <br />A. The property is located at the end of Ivy Place which is a street with no outlet. <br />The garage addition will not negatively change the character of the <br />neighborhood. <br />B. The property is on the lakeshore which would allow construction of a <br />detached garage 10 ’ from the street property line. I he proposed garage <br />would be 18’ from the property line. The additional garage stall, attached to <br />the existing garage functions much better for the property than a detached <br />building. <br />C. The overall appearance of the property would be enhanced by having an <br />attached garage stall rather than a detached building located nearer to the <br />street. <br />D.

The street yard ‘Teels" like a <br />side yard. <br />4.
