5. 6. 7. 'Fhe special conditions applying to the structure of land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. The zoning lot waj platted prior to current zoning requirements. Due to the non- conforming lot size, meeting the hardcover requirements is difficult. The location of the residence on the applicant's other property to the north at 1040 Loma Linda Avenue is farther west than the subject property due to the northwest slant of the lakeshore, which makes meeting the average lakeshore setback difficult on the subject property. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located. Most of the lots along this portion of Loma Linda Avenue were platted prior to current zoning requirements and the residences on them also were built before current zoning and are therefore non-conforming. Not all residences in the neighborhood are located as close to the lakeshore as the subject property, however. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The applicants would not be able to replace the dilapidated decks that were previously approved by variances without the granting of variances at the present time. The granting of such variances will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty. The proposal is to rebuild and enclose a portion of the decks that have been previously granted a variance. There will be a decrease of hardcover on the property. Encroachments on the average lakeshore setback and lakeshore setback will be reduced also. U2S44 C. Douglas and Marilyn J. Holcomb^. 1056 Loma Linda Avenue Variances March 16. 1998 Page 4
