Other:
To grant an area variance,the ZBA must balance the benefits to the applicant and the health,safety,and welfare of the neighborhood and
community,taking into consideration the following:
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.
Other locations on the site were explored for the 2 car garage, but with only one possible driveway access point,the proposed
location minimizes the need for additional driveway coverage and maintains 37%of the site as permeable,without impacting the
existing house.
2. Whether granting the variance will produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby
properties. Granting the variance will not create a detriment to nearby properties or an undesirable change in the neighborhood
character for the following reasons:
The proposed garage is conistent in area with other garage structures in the noighburhooU, including on adjacent
properties.The owners of the two adjacent parcels closest to the proposed garage have written letters of support for the proposed
project and requested variances.
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS APPLICATION/OwM PAGE 7
3. Whether the variance is substantial. The requested variance is not substantial for the following reasons:
The proposed garage is conistent in area with other garage structures in the neighborhood, including on adjacent
properties. The proposed location with requested sideyard setback is proposed to best align with existing driveway and house
location on the site.The area coverage variance is required to fit the proposed 2 car garage accessory building desired on the
existing panm|, and the coverage of the principal building and accessory building when combined are still below the 40Y6
combined accessory and principal building coverages aUowed, at 35.7%total proposed building coverage.
4. Whether the variance will have adverse physical or environmental effects on neighborhood or district. The requested variance will not
have an adverse physical or environmental effect on the neighborhood or district for the following reasons:
The proposed garage is conistent in area with other garage structures in the noiVhborhooU, including on adjacent
properties.The owners of the two adjacent parcels closest to the proposed garage have written letters of support for the proposed
project and the requested variances.
5. Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created(although this does not necessarily preclude the granting of an area variance). Explain
whether the alleged difficulty was or was not self-created:
The proposed location with requested sideyard setback is proposed to best align with existing driveway and house location on the
site.The area coverage variance is required to fit the proposed 2 car garage accessory building desired on the existing parue|,
and the coverage of the principal building and accessory building when combined are still below the 40%combined accessory
and principal building coverages allowed, at35JY6total proposed building coverage.
