The site cannot be extended to acquire additional lot area to the west due to <br />the Shoreline Drive right of uay. or to the east due to Lake Minnetonka. <br />2. Due to the present area of the Newkirk's parcel, and the area of the <br />adjacent lots, both 1487 Shoreline Dr. and 1491 Shoreline Dr. would have <br />to be acquired by the Newkirks, the homes demolished, and the lots <br />combined w iih the Newkirk’s lot to create a new single lot that is <br />conforming in area to the LR-1.\ standard. <br />Unique or Mitigating Conditions <br />1.

Granting the variance w ould simply maintain the established the existing <br />relationship with the adjacent homes and not alter the essential character of the <br />area. <br />2.
