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.
The principal structure setback is a pre-existing condition with no alterations proposed.
The excess lot coverage by the accessory structures is due to a combination of existing pool area and the desire for the new pool
house to replace an existing shed, increasing its use from storage-only to storage and function. The area is over its allowable area
by 55 sf (0.33%), created by the roof overhangs. It is not feasible to request to purchase additional land from the neighbor to meet
the zoning requirement due to the small area that is being requested. the cost would be prohibitive.
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:
No undesirable change of character will occur since the pool house is being constructed in the style of the principal structure to
maintain consistency of character within the neighborhood.
