landlocked lot, Assessor's Parcel Number 6=201-15 behind 523 Oak Street,
Assessor's Parcel Number 6-201-23 based on the following findings and
subject to the following conditions as recommended by the Planning
Commis sion :
Findings :
l. There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the property in
that this is an existing land-locked lot.
2. Modification is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the petitioner in that the total area of
the two lots in question is 22, 400 sq. ft. (more than three times the
minimum lot area for the zoning district, more than two times the
minimum lot area for the slope of the lot under the Hillside Residential
Overlay District) and in light of the fact that many of the surrounding
lots are 8, 000 sq. ft. or less. This is true of five of the eight
adjoining lots and that therefore development with a single-family
house on each of the two lots in question is a substantial property
right in this case .
3. Granting of the modification will not be detrimental to the public
welfare or safety or injurious to other property in the territory in
which said property is situated because that granting will be
conditional upon review of the design of any house to be built on the
property to insure protection of existing privacy and architectural
compatibility with the neighborhood.
