needed septic area is reasonable and is supported by the fact that the system can support the home. <br />•With respect to the proposed variance for a reduction in lot size, strict enforcementof the City's zoning regulations will cause practical difficulties and the applicant isproposing to use the property in a reasonable manner. Again the property was platted and purchased by the Applicant's family prior to the current development standards. Because of this, there was no influence over the size of the lot. Furthermore, the thought of 100 ft. setbacks from the lake, impact zones, septic size requirements did not seem to be present when the lake shore lots were created, making compliance difficult for today and the future. The Applicant is proposing to construct a single family detached dwelling on the property, which is a permitted use within the Rural Single Family Zoning District. 5) Unique Circumstances the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner;•With respect to the proposed variance for setback fi'om the OHWL of the structure, the plight of the Applicant is unique and has not been caused by the applicant.

Because the area has developed in an organic manner the wells for the surrounding properties were justifiably placed in a location that was advantageous for them. With that said septic systems must be at least 5 0 ft. away from a well. Because of the wells to the north and south the septic is required to be pushed to the west side of the lot. This then leaves a limited area for the home which must also be 20 ft. from that system, Because the septic system must be located on the western side of the lot a longer driveway is required which helps push the property over the allowed 15%. <br />•With respect to the proposed variance for the reduction in septic area, the plight ofthe Applicant is unique and has not been caused by the applicant. The expectationfor this standard is impossible to meet as the required size is more than theproperty itself.
