The Property has 46,000 square feet (1.05 acre) in area and 100 feet in width <br /> at the OHWL and 100 feet in width at the 75-foot setback where 43,560 <br /> square feet (1.0 acre) in area and 140-feet in width are normally required. <br /> b.

The Applicants' request will alleviate a practical difficulty inherent to the <br /> Property and not created by the Applicants. <br /> d.
