The amount of light and air in the neighborhood would be diminished by adding a structire on what is effectively a substandard lot. d. The values of surrounding properties will be adversely affected as testified to by all adjoining property owners. e. There are no special conditions applying to the land in question which are peculiar to the land or immediately adjoining property. f. The condition of having a large or irregularly shaped lakeshore lot occurs generally throughout the city and also within LR-1B Zoning District. g. The granting of the application is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial • property right of the applicant. h. The granting of the variances will impair the health, safety , comfort and be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code, Platting Co3e , and Comprehensive Plan. i. The granting of the variances will serve merely as a convenience to the applicant, and is not necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty. 24 . The applicant has not introduced any evidence contrary to any of the above findings of fact. The ap�licant has claimed only that Lot 9 would be o� greater value to him if he could sell it as two building sites instead of one , and particularly if he could obtain full riparian rights and lakeshore access for the second proposed building site as we11 as for the existing residence . 25 . In review of the record of these proceedings , the council notes that there has been continual confusion over whether or not the Hepp application reauired variances from any Zoning or Platting Code performance standards . The neighbors have argued continually against granting of any variances . The Planning Commission refused to grant any variances , but without benefit of legal counsel , eventually decided to recommend approval of the proposal under the impression that no variances were necessary. • PAG E�O F�_
