3. The Vciriances, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. 4. 5. 6. 7. The variance for lot area will not change the character of the area. The variances for side street setback and hardcover may have a negative effect on the neighborhood. Also, the proposed garage would have doors that face the lake. This is not desirable and would have a negative effect on views from the lake. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance for 2iny use that is not permitted under this Chapter for the property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. A single family residence is 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. Most lots on Loma Linda Drive were platted prior to current zoning requirements and do not meet lot area standards. While several other lakeshore properties in the vicinity have been granted variances for setbacks and hardcover for new residences and improvements to existing residences, most of these lots have been significantly smaller and narrower. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located. Most lakeshore lots in the immediate vicinity are smaller and narrower. Therefore variances are necessary from setback and hardcover requirements. This is not the case with the subject property because the average width nearly conforms to the lot width requirement. The lot area is greater than most lakeshore lots in the immediate vicinity. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. A reasonable residence can be built upon the subject property that would require only one variance for lot area. U236I William Bockmann 1130 Loma Linda Avenue yanances April 20. 1993 Page A
