Special conditions and circumstances exist which are <br />peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved. <br />(1) Special conditions may include exceptional topographic <br />or water conditions or, in the case of an existing lot <br />or parcel of record, narrowness, shallowness, <br />insufficient area or shape of the property. <br />(2) Special conditions and circumstances may not be <br />primarily economic in nature. <br />b. Literal interpretation of the provisions of this Ordinance <br />would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by <br />other properties in the same district under the terms of <br />this Ordinance. <br />c. The special conditions and circumstances do not result from <br />the actions of the applicant. <br />d. Granting the variance requested will not confer on the <br />applicant any special privilege that is denied by this <br />Ordinance to other lands, structures, or buildings in the <br />same district. <br />e. A genuine hardship exists in complying with the literal <br />terms of this Ordinance. <br />Page 84 <br />
