The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: A. The property has been developed with a residential use since at least 1900. B. The site plan indicates the proposed setbacks 1 O' to the side property lines and the house would be outside of the 75' lakeshore setback. The entire house would be located approximately 550' from the lakeshore, which meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan for new structures. C. There is no additional land to combine with the property. D. The hardcover in the 75-250' zone will be 314 s.f. (42%) to allow for additional driveway. The additional driveway will allow for off street parking. The new residence will be located closer to the street than existing residence, minimizing driveway hardcover on the lot. E. The existing 10' x 12' shed on the rear of the property will be removed. 5. The City Council finds thatthe..conditions existing pn this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variance will not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air, nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. 6.
