That there ha•:e been exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applying to the subject property or as to the intended use thereof that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity or zone. Finding: The buildable area of this lot is restricted by the topography which drops off to a ravine approximately 90 feet west of the front property line, and the lot configuration which has a width of approximately 58 feet at the front and approximately 125 feet where tha ravine begins. The lot is relatively flat and more suited to a rambler than a split level or tri-level. A smaller house could be placed on the lot; however, it would not be as complementary to the neighborhood since the other homes being built are quite substantial. In order to leave some useable rear yard area, the house cannot be set further to the rear where the lot is wider as it would be too close to the edge of the ravine. Conclusion: There are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances applying to this property that do not generally apply to ether properties in the vicinity and zone. 2. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the appellant possessed by the owners of other properties in the same vicinity or zone. Finding: The plat of Edgemoor Heights and the adjoining plat of Crestwood have some severe topographic problems and setback variances have been granted to owners of other lots in this area. Conclusion: The variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the appellant possessed by the owners of other properties in the vicinity.
