The front setback distance of the building line of the principal building in an EU-M,
RU-1 and RU-2 District shall not exceed fifty (50) feet, provided, however, such maximum
front setback may be adjusted by the Director where peculiar conditions exist and
where compliance with this regulation would impose an unnecessary hardship on the
property owner, and a greater front setback would not be detrimental to the adjacent
property owner and would comply with the spirit and intent of the regulations; among
other things, peculiar conditions which can be considered would be such as, buildings
or structures in the area with greater front setbacks than regularly permitted, unusually
deep lots, lakefront lots, use of property across the street in variance with usual
permitted uses in the district, such as school, church, cemetery, park or the like.
