One-half of thiB lot 16 larger thalR most of the other lots in this particular block. and therefore it 1s suitable for uae as ~ site ror two dwell1nga. One dwelling ~8 already been built on the Lantana S'treet frontage, and is owned by an individual other than myself, The property 1mmedia tely to the North of my portioA of the lot in question is improved with a house .facing on Bay Esplanade, whioh adjoining lot 1s 30 feet less in depth than the portion of the lot I own. For the reasons' enumerated it works 8 hardship on me not to be able to build a house on my portion of the lot, particularl'Y s1noe the part I own i8 larger than r~ny lots in the same block upon which houses have been built. For these reasons request is hereby made for a change in the zoning of this particular lot as a l~rdship case, so that I ma~ be permitted to build a house on m~T portion of t he lot.
