visually minor, that the adjoining property to the south is not, and can not, be developed with residential
.uses because it contains the Southern California Edison Co. Easement with overhead lines; and that the
subject properly is proportionally narrow and the rear portion of the lot is an unbuildable slope making it
difficult to add onto this dwelling in compliance with the RS-HS-10,000 Zone standards.
2. 'that there are special circumstances applicable to this property pertaining tQ its deep and
narrow shape, as well as the significant amount of unbuildable slope area in the rear of the property.
3. That nearby residences will not be adversely impacted as a consequence of the proposed
side yard setback because there are no residences on the adjoining property to thesouth of the subject
property where the 5-foot side yard setback is proposed.
