property which prohibit such use(s).

sought to be avoided by the application of this Chapter or the public health, safety or
welfare on or off the site for which the reasonable use exception is sought.

actions by the applicant in subdividing the property or adjusting a boundary line thereby
creating the un-developable condition after the effective date of this chapter.
5. The use exception being sought is the minimum necessary to allow for reasonable uses of
the property.
6, Such use exception being sought is consistent with the general purposes of this chapter
