These parcels are completely surrounded by adjoining private property; and would not be able to be developed as usable parcels due to the sizes or lack of road frontage. b. That the plight of the landowners is due to physical circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner. The physical shape, location and isolated nature of the parcels prevent most private uses.
