The zoning code in the City of New Brighton <br />requires that in R-1 district the minimum lot <br />size be 10,000 square feet and have 75 foot width <br />at the building setback line; <br />2.

The applicant's property is at a substantially <br />higher elevation than the property to the south <br />whereby the construction of a new home as proposed <br />could be detrimental to the property to south in <br />terms of drainage and loss of yard privacy; <br />4. Adjacent property owners and neighbors have <br />expressed their strong opposition to granting of these <br />variances; <br />5.
