All the lots except Lot 8 comply with this standard. Lot 8 has a depth of 127 feet, which requires a variance. Variance Criteria: The ordinance states that in considering requests for variance the City shall make a fording of fact that: 1. That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use of used under conditions allowed by the official controls. 2. That the plight of the landowners is due to physical circumstance unique to his property not created by the landowner. 3. That the hardship is not due to economic considerations alone and when a reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance. 4. 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. 5. That the proposed actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. The Planning and Zoning Board may consider that the site is impacted by wetlands and it is located at the intersection of two collector roads thereby limiting design options as a basis for granting the variance.

Existing Structures: An existing shed and pole building are located within the new street right -of -way and must be removed.
