I. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by other feasible means. Identify what alternatives to the variance have
been explored (alternative designs, attempts to purchase land, etc.)and why they are not feasible.
The applicants have purchased the building adjacent to their home (24 Granite Street)and are wiling to tear it down, and
consolidate the lots into one 10,700 square foot parcel. They have every intention of raising their family at this location and living

character for the following reasons:
Granting the requested variance will have no undesirable effects on the neighborhood or nearby properties or produce an
undesirable change in the character of hte neighboorhood. By being willing to demolish an existing nearby older home and

3. Whether the variance is substantial. The requested variance is not substantial for the following reasons:

Any increase in drainage will be handled on site and will not create any adverse environmental effect on the neighborhood.
5. Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created(although this does not necessarily preclude the granting of an area variance).Explain
