►- Exceptional narrowness, shallowness, size or shape of property, or
►- Exceptional topographic conditions or other extraordinary situation or condition of property, or
►- The use or development of property iinmediately adjacent thereto
Adjacent property is a 5 acre lot and would normally require a 50' setback but is currently being used as an orchard. Due
to location of drainfield, driveway access and steep topography, the only reasonable building site would encroach into the
required orchard setback. It is important to note that an existing forested buffer of approximately 100 feet would still be retained
between the proposed dwelling site and the orchard which would still provide a significant buffer to orchard operations.
