The Board of Adjustment, following a public hearing on said application held On February 1, 1988, and further having reviewed all testimony, makes the following Findings, Conclusions and Order: VARIANCE CRITERIA: Findings and Conclusions: Criterion No. 1: That there have 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. a. Finding #1: This lot fronts to the east towards the unimproved right-of-way of 33rd Avenue West. This right-of-way is only 30 feet wide and dead -ends at the south line of the subject property. There is a large vacant parcel to the east of this lot and if and when it develops, additional right-of-way may be obtained and 33rd Avenue West may be improved. Access to the subject lot is provided via a private road on the north off 33rd Avenue West. The applicant wishes to orient the house to the north towards the private road since it is a view lot and the view is to the north and west. In addition, moving the house further to the east than a 40 foot front setback allows would enhance the view from the home since it would be the highest point of the lot.
