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.
The variances and relief sought will allow the proposed house and garage (second house) to conform with the surrounding
properties thereby creating a seamless streetscape. No additional lands are available for purchase. Alternate designs do not
conform with the character of the neighborhood.
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:

thereby enhancing the neighborhood.
