The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions <br />allowed by the official controls. <br />The deck is in place and is the same size as the previous deck. This replacement could <br />not be retained without a rear yard variance. <br />2.The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created <br />by the landowner. <br />The definition of the front yard being the shortest dimension and the location of the <br />residence on the lot creates a need for a rear yard variance. <br />f(2336 Bruce SiMlon <br />3380 Frederick Street <br />Fanances <br />2/17/98 <br />Page 3 <br />i
