The primary circumstances unique to <br />this property is the application of requirement for a 20,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size to a property that is only 62.9% the size it is <br />required to be. By definition, practical difficulties to allow reasonable use will abound. <br />3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. <br />Response: This much more conforming proposal will alter the locality's character in only a positive way through nearly <br />eliminating all legal non -conformities contained here -in. <br />4.
