III.
The Commission further finds that the proposed residence
addition of applicant is to be located fifteen (15) feet from the
side line of said Lot instead of twenty (20) feet as required by
said Zoning Ordinance, and further finds that by reason of the
terrain of westerly easement of said Lot 25 being too steep for
use as a bridle. trail, and the seventy (70) feet distance between
the existing residences on Lots 24 and 25 being insufficient for
the location of another residence, the variance should be granted
to applicant in order to preserve substantial property rights
possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone, and
that the granting of such variance will not be materially detri-
mental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improve-
ments in such vicinity and zone in which applicant's property is
located, and that there are exceptional and extraordinary circum-
stances and conditions by reason of physical location and terrain
of said Lot 25 which do not apply generally to other property in
the same vicinity and zone.
Iv.
From the foregoing it is concluded that a variance should
be granted by the Planning Commission of the City of Rolling Hills
to Charles F. Hathaway of Lot 25 of Sunny Knolls in accordance
with the Plot Plan marked Exhibit I on file in these proceedings,
and it is, therefore, so ordered.
