The applicant needs to provide a <br />turnaround area for safe access to Dunwoody Avenue. The length of the driveway also effects the <br />amount of hardcover because of the lot's relationship to the two streets and the lake. The house is <br />situated as close to the lake and as far away from the two roads as possible. <br />STATEMENT OF HARDSHIP <br />The applicants have stated that a narrow and very long lot requires a long driveway which in turn <br />increases the hardcover percentage. <br />Criteria for Determining Undue Hardship <br />1. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions <br />allowed by the official controls. <br />The property is currently vacant. Any new residential construction on this site requires a <br />variance for lot area and lot width. It would be difficult to design a structure with a driveway <br />that is less than 25% hardcover because the turnaround and driveway represent 15.28 % of <br />the lot area. A house, garage, and deck would then be limited to less than 10% of the lot area <br />in the '75-'250 setback which would be 857.5 sq. ft. <br />#2275 Brent andJutie Walton <br />2405 Dunwoody Avenue <br />August 18. 1997 <br />page-3 <br />fur
