~ That although it is possible to place the third house on subject
property, there are other large properties in the immediate
vicinity, and elsewhere throughout the City that do not enjoy
the extra dwelling privileges.
SECTION 2. That it has not been shown that there are
exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable ,to subject
property or to the intended use thereof that do not apply gener-
ally to the property or class of use in the same zone or viCinity,
or that the variance is necessary for the preservation of any
property right of the applicant possessed by other pr0perty in
the same zone or vicinity. That the granting of the ~equested
va~iance from the zoning requirements would constitute poor plan-
ning practice and would adversely affect the comprehensive general
.
plan.

mission recommends to the City Council that the reque~ted variance
to allow a third house on the lot, at 734-738 West Longden Avenue
