That the property in question can not be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. 2. That the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the land owner. 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 not unreasonably diminish or impair established property values within the neighborhood. 6. That the proposed actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. Keith Eibensteiner asked if there is no intention of Glenview Drive to be installed all the way through.
