a special circumstance applicable to the property consisting of the
property being irregularly-shaped and having an exceptionally wide rear

the area (70 feet.),... resulting in the shallow setback area being minimal and
.,.'pertaining to only 20 .feet of building length;

4 parking spaces (possibly as many as:6 or 8) are available entirely
