A driveway addition has been constructed on the property, which increased the curb cut width to 36 feet. 4. The property is regularly shaped and is neither exceptional nor extraordinary given the number of properties within the City that are zoned R-1. 5. The literal interpretation of the Code would NOT deprive the applicant of rights eommonly enjoyed by othcr properties in the same district in that the property is not unique compared to other properties in the same zoning district. 6.
