unbuildable, and topography and slopes of the site that make the layout of the site in a particular way to avoid steep slopes. • The property is found to be of a unique situation that was not caused by the applicant’s act or omission. • Similarly, other parcels within the City are found to have steep slopes, challenging topography, hills, bluffs, and other land characteristics that require creativity to build and often variances are necessary that meet our definition for exception within the zoning code. • The physical, topographical, and slope aspects of the property are the main reason for the variance request in that it produces an extreme hardship that is limited to the uniqueness of the site, along with the floodplain located on the site. • If this parcel was a normal, flat parcel, at 3.12 acres, and had regular driveway access to Edgerton, the applicant would be able to fit up to 12 lots (at 4 un/acre). Because of the slope of Edgerton, normal driveway access is not possible creating a need to build a public road to access the site and create lots at the increased elevation. This limits the use of the site from 12 lots down to 7 lots in addition to the floodplain area, utilized only for stormwater, which further takes away acreage from development occurring.
