The Property is a legal lot of record created prior to adoption of the <br /> current Zoning Ordinance lot area and width requirements. <br /> ii. The Property contains 155,287 square feet (3.56 acres) in area <br /> total; while the home-site portion of the Property contains 30,229 <br /> square feet in area or 0.69 acre. There is no additional contiguous <br /> land available to bring the lot area or width into conformity, <br /> although the Property does contain additional non-contiguous land <br /> across West Ferndale Road that is mostly wetland. <br /> iii. The Property is provided with City sewer. <br /> iv. The Applicant's request will alleviate a practical difficulty inherent <br /> to the Property and not created by the Applicant. <br /> v. The Applicant's request will not alter the essential character of the <br /> neighborhood and will result in minimal negative impact on <br /> adjacent properties. <br /> vi. The Applicant's request is in harmony with the purpose and intent <br /> of the ordinance. <br /> vii. The Applicant has demonstrated that enforcing the 0 to 75' zone <br /> hardcover, lake and side yard setback, lot area and lot width <br /> provisions of the Zoning Ordinance deprive the Applicant of the <br /> reasonable use of the Property. <br /> viii. The Applicant is not able to acquire additional property to meet <br /> minimum lot width and area requirements. <br /> ix. The current home has existed on the Property for many decades. <br /> x. The only potential conforming location for a replacement house is <br /> less than 2000 square feet in area, narrow, long and triangular in <br /> shape. The proposed house location 33 feet from the right-of-way <br /> of West Ferndale Road is 5 feet further from the R-O-W than the <br /> existing house. The proposed conforming house setback 30 feet <br /> from the west property boundary is an improvement over the <br /> existing non-conforming 10-foot setback. The location of the house <br /> 47' from the lake is the same setback as the existing house. <br /> Page 3 of 7 <br />
