If additional space is needed, going back <br />into the lot should be considered. <br />Blumentritt responded that the topography of the lot may play a part in the steepness of a driveway. <br />He stated the purpose of the variance is to look at the hardships on the site, and determine a <br />reasonable solution. <br />Hawn moved.
