That the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood.

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: 1. 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. Placement of a garage on the Broadway frontage is not consistent with the historic district in which the property is located. 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: It will be visually consistent with the other carriage houses and structures on the street. Additionally, there had been a garage at the location where we are proposing to have this one erected. It had been present for the majority of the time that the house has een in existance and would be consistent with the past historical character—o -te street and neighborhood. Revised 01/2021 ZONINGBOARD oFAPPEALSAPPLIcATIoNFORN PAGE 7 3. Whether the variance is substantial. The, requested variance is not substantial for the following reasons: We are not requesting that a new element be introduced that would not be consistent with the past historic use and appearance of the property. 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: There previously was a similar structure as the one being proposed which was part of the physical and historic environment of the neighborhood. This is just being restored with this rconstruction. 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: There has been no element of this proposal that resulted from any self-created difficulty.
