That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that would be denied by this ordinance to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district. This variance would not only allow this property owner to build far closer to the O. I.W.L than most other riparian lots are allowed, but would also effect the development of the lot to the north which would be able to use the reduced setback of this lot to allow a structure to be built much closer to the Lakeshore than would normally be allowed. e. That the proposed actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. The spirit and intent of the Shoreland Ordinance is to preserve and enhance the quality of surface waters, conserve the economic and natural environmental values of the shorelands, and provide for the wise use of waters and related land resources. The proposed variance would allow a structure and construction of that structure to occur far closer to the lake than is required.
