9. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not <br /> created by the landowner <br /> a. The subject property does not meet the minimum width requirement for <br /> the guest quarters. This practical difficulty was not created by the <br /> landowner. <br /> b. The existing accessory structure which exceed the maximum height <br /> allowed was constructed by a previous landowner. <br /> io.The deviation from the Code,with conditions,will still be in harmony with the <br /> general purposes and intent of the City Code and Comprehensive Plan. <br /> ii. The Variance will not create a land use not permitted in the Shoreline Residential <br /> zone. Accessory structures and guest quarters are an allowed use. <br /> 12. The subject property is surrounded by Shoreline Residential and Rural <br /> Residential development. The variance, with conditions, will not alter the <br /> essential character of the locality of the subject property. <br /> a. There are accessory structures in the vicinity of the subject property that <br /> exceed the maximum area allowed however there are no guest quarters in <br /> the vicinity of the subject property that exceed the�oo sf limitation. <br /> i3. The Variance does not appear to be for economic reasons alone and reasonable <br /> use of the properry seems to exist under the Code. <br /> Please note the Board of Adjustment included the following Conditions in their motion <br /> to approve your Variance request: <br /> i. E�cisting trees and vegetation between the accessory structure and the OHW shall <br /> remain in a live state to provide screening as viewed from the lake.
