Court. Manager Miller read the notice of hearing Along with the dates of

hardship to the lot which is not imposed upon any other lot on Brookview
Court;

back of 30 feet would result in peculiar and exceptional practical
difficulties upon the property in question;

detriment to the public good, without impairing unduly the intent, purpose
and integrity of the Zoning Code of the Village as applied in this area
of the Village
