applicable to the property including its size, shape, 
topography, location, or surroundings which were not 
self-imposed by the owner;
2. Due to the special circumstances, the strict application 
of the Zoning Ordinance would deprive the property of 
privileges enjoyed by other properties in the same 
classification in same zoning district;
