developmental constraints on the site: namely, a prior lot split
has deprived the site of the original access to -,an alley which was
previously afforded it; the lot split also resulfed in an unusual
ratio of lot width to lot depth on the subject site; and there is
a significant grade differential on the property.

foot setback to serve the existing dwelling unit, and revision to
