FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: surrounding properties were originally developed with a 5’ rather than 10’rear setback, given the placement of trees on the lot, the existing home was constructed toward the back of the lot, replacing the subject structure with a 10’setback is unreasonable given the placement of live oak and the main house. 2.
