C. Hardships and Unique or Mitigating Conditions ]. Lot and Area The Newkirks propose to use their present lot, the lot they have occupied since 1999, and has been the site of the present house since 1964. for theL- new home. This homesite, containing two planed lots, cannot be expanded to the west due to the Hwy 15 right of wnv or to the east into the Lake. Table B describes the adjacent lots between the f anager Lake Bridge and Brackens Point TABLE B ADJACENT LOTS AND LR-IA LOT STA.NDARDS .Area / sq ft Width Required 87,120 200 ft 1475 Shoreline 46.529 1487 Shoreline 28.317 125 ft 1489 Shoreline 52.329 132 ft 1491 Shoreline 48.170 190 ft 1200 Brackets Pt 40,293 195.638 4.5 ac SouSource, Henn.-pin Countv- Combining the Newkirk s non conforming present parcel with just the parcel to the north, 1487 Shoreline Dr. (also non conforming), or just the parcel to the south, 1491 Shoreline Dr. (also non conforming). wx>uld provide the required lot width but would not provide enough additional lot area to create a conforming lot. To create a conforming lot the Newkirks would have to acquire both 1487 and 1491 Shoreline Dr., demolish the homes cn those lots, and combine the lots into a single new parcel. It would be a practical if not iir.possfnle hardship to require the Newkirks to create a conforming LR-I A lot for their home. The result of gn-.-ang the variance wo-ald be to simplv rccog.nize the existing a.-. J compatible condition. The continued use of the lot for a newly con«*..'’acted single family home would not introduce or create a.ny new impacts or conflicts a: the site nor alter the essential character of the area. The 15V, lot coverage standard is met by the proposed home on the present lot, and the existing relationship of the homes w ould be mainlined. .Absent the requested variances to permit rebuilding the home, the 0 to 75 ft coverage will not no: be reduced by 519 sf and 100%, and the 75 to 250 ft lot coverage will not be reduced b>* 2019 sf. and 22 %. 2. Side Yards On a lot assumed by the Code and the regulations for the district to be of over 2 acres in area and having a minimum width of200, the LR-1A requirement of a total of 60 ft of side yard, 30% of the lot. is compatible and reasonable. If the lot is in a.n a.'ca of mo acre lots, each at least 200 ft wide, this requircmcr.; is probably essential to the nal-*.2ining the character of that district 3
