Tha. t the Applicant has stated that the minimum lot sizes in the overlay district create a h~dship because of the marginal depth of developable property between the lake and. Sunwood Drive, and the need for the lots within the plat to be served by a minor street off of Sunwood Drive. That the Applicant has stated that the marginal depth of developable property betWeen the lake and Sunwood Drive is due, in part, to the fact that the alignment for Sunwood Drive has been relocated nearer the lake than origianlly proposed or planned. That the Applicant has designed the plat in such a manner that the ten (10) riparian lots meet the 20,000 square foot area requirement.
