There is no additional contiguous land available to bring the lot <br /> area or width into conformity, although the property does contain <br /> approximately 3 additional acres of non-contiguous land across <br /> West Ferndale Road that is mostly wetland. <br /> iii.

The location of the <br /> house 47' from the lake is the same setback as the existing house. <br /> xi. The existing stone building located adjacent to the roadway was <br /> the former pumphouse for the Woodhill Country Club, is a <br /> landmark in the neighborhood, and at 16'x22' will not detract from <br /> the neighborhood if allowed to remain in place.
