2. 4. 5. 6. 7. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner. The neighboring lot to the south has a 20' wide strip extending to the lake, making it a lakeshorc lot. Due to this unusual configuration and the placement of the neighboring residence farther back from the lakeshore on this property, an a\ erage lakeshore setback variance is required for any addition. 3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality The variance for average lakeshore setback will not change the character of the area. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance for any use that is not permitted under this Chapter for the property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. Bay windows and domiers are permitted in this zoning district. The special conditions applying to the structure of land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. The presence of a long, 20' wide strip of land abutting the lake on the neighboring property to the south makes that property a lakeshore lot, despite the residence being located farther back from the lake than the neighboring residences. Because it is adjacent to the subject properly, it skews the average lakeshore setback. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located. The properties on either side of 3630 Casco Avenue are subject to a more restrictive average lakeshore setback because of the unusual platting of the area. The granting of the application is necessary' for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. All structures on the lot are ahead of the average lakeshore setback. Any additions require an average lakeshore setback variance. *^2320 SUtchell and Asta Gersovitz having an interest in 3650 Casco Circle Idriance 2/17/98 Page 3 i
