The lot is closer to confonnance than most otller lots along Forest <br /> Lake Landing where lot widths are as small as 50 feet at the public <br /> right-of-way. <br /> e.

The City Council finds that the conditioi�s existing on this property are <br /> peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning <br /> district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic <br /> conditions, ligl7t, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring <br /> property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is <br /> necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to <br /> preserve a substantial property right of the applicallts; and would be in <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br />
