Single family residential use is permitted in the LR-1A (One Family Lakeshore Residential) zoning district. The special conditions applying to the structure of land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. The structure is currently located within the setback distance, and the current property owners, have inherited water erosion problems. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which said land is located. The existing residence was constructed only 9.4 feet from the side lot line. The applicant has stated the best way to control drainage is the addition of the drain tile under the garage. They also intend to add to the living space of the home within the setback. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjo3mient of a substantial property right of the applicant. The granting of the variance is not necessary to enhance the use of the structure. It is to create more living space within the residence, and help control water erosion.
