Accardiizg to Heiuiepin County plat maps and the survey submitted with the application, there is a portion of Forest Lane (undeveloped) located between this property aizd the lakeshore. It is assumed that this poi-tion of Forest Lane will be combined witli tl�.e applicants' property at soine time in the future. It has served as the lakeshore access for this lot. Other lots in the neighborhood have had Forest Lane vacated and a few lots have comUined that portion of property with the residential site. For current zoning purposes, this lot is Ueing considered a lalceshore lot for setback purposes even though the legal description and property records do not include the vacated portion of the road, This is an importaut distinction for this property because a non-lakeshore lot would not permit an accessory building to be located closer to the street than the house, 4. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it aild do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variances 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 applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicauts; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. 5.
