The Prado family, the property owners have a special circumstance that warrants the granting of this minor exception. Due to the unique needs of a handicapped family member, special equipment, such as a trolley system and bathtub, must be maintained within the bedroom in which that family member resides. These pieces of equipment, due to their physical space requirements, have dictated the size of the room, requiring the enlargement that encroaches into the prevailing front yard setback. •
