Substandard building setbacks are prevalent in the surrounding properties of this area. 3. The literal compliance with Sections 9-501 & 9-601 of the Zoning Ordinance would cause unnecessary hardship given the fact that dwelling was previously constructed in the middle of the parcel without room for a 2 stall wide carport without a variance. 4. The granting of the variance will not violate the spirit or the intent of this article, but it will allow a structure to be permitted adjacent to the neighboring property line. 5. The condition or feature which creates the need for the variance does result from the property owner's own actions. There is room to construct an accessory carport structure in the rear yard without a variance.
