The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: <br /> A. Planning Commission finds that a lot area variance is not required since the <br /> existing house foundation and part of the first floor �valls will be used, <br /> without structural repairs. If the foundation which is located within the 30' <br /> front yard setback is found to be replaced, the application needs to be <br /> revisited and reviewed as new construction. <br /> B. The existing residence was built in 1920,prior to existing zoning standards. <br /> C. The hardship is the existing house location in relation to front lot lines. <br /> C. The hardcover in the 250-500' setback zone is belo�v the allowed 30%. <br /> D. Lot coverage by structures will be 17.2%,above the 15%limit.

The irregularly shaped property is due to a subdivision which occurred in <br /> 1973. <br /> F.
