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 property lines defining the geometry of the parcel exist as they are, and no additional adjoining property is available for
purchase. It appears no other feasible means exist. This parcel is 9,790 s.f., well in excess of the required 8,000 s.f. for two
separate singe family residences to exist on one parcell uncler the current he new home ties also been eslgne an
placed on the site such that all other required setbacks, and the overall lot coverage are in compliance.
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 variance with not produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby
properties. The new home has been positioned on the lot to align the front with the fronts of the adjacent properties along Nelson
venue. I he home has been clesigneci to be in concert with the homes tnat exist along tnat section or Nelson Avenue. I ffefmo—me
will not overpower the lot or the adjacent homes. By implementing a story and a half design, the home will acutally appear slightly
smaller than some of the adjacent two-story homes.

3. Whether the variance is substantial. The requested variance is not substantial for the following reasons:
The requested variance is not substantial. The majority of the lot is 80 ft. wide (front go ft.). (75%) Only the rear 38 ft. of the lot is
62.11 ft wide (25 %). The reduced section of the lot is where the existing building is located.
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 rquested variance with not have any adverse physical or environmental effects on hte neighborhood or district. The hew
home has been positioned on the lot so as to maximize the amount of yard (greenspace). All roof drainage along the North side
will be collected as necessary with gutters and downspouts to eliminate causing any additional drainage onto adjacent properties.
In addition, the existing parking area adjacent to Able Drive to the rear of the property, will be utilized as the driveway entrance
into the new home, and adequate off street parking will be provided.
S. 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 alleged difficulty is due to the geometry of the existing lot, which is not self-created. However, the desire to build a second
single family home on the largely vacant (75%) parcel brought this issue to light, and could therefore be considered to be
