Other: To grant an area variance, the Z$A 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 only conceivable alternative would be to replace the current deck. The current deck size also requires an area variance because of the t back ules.The deck needs to be r!aced, We were hoping to extendh iz that we would have ! more room to improve our enjoyment of the deck. 2.
