1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the
community because
1 The requested variances allow for the continued operation of multi-tenant office buildings. The use of the subject real
estate will remain the same as it has existed for many years and,therefore,the grant of the variances by their very nature will not
iieffect nor be injurious to the public
health,safety. morals and general welfare of the community.
2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a
substantially adverse manner because'
The variances allow for the continued operation of existing multi-tenant office buildings,which have existed for many
years in this location,with no adverse impact on the adjoining areas. Continuing the same use will have no substantial adverse
1 impact on the use or value of the areas adjacent as the same use will remain intact. Moreover,the surrounding areas are
business offices in nature, and the reduction in landscaping and parking will have no impact on these adjacent office buildings, as
the parking for Meridian Mark is self contained with the exception of one area of parking by non-exclusive cross easement.
-.-'i 3 The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in practical difficulties in the
use of the property because:
The need for the variances arise solely from the takings of the right-of-ways along U S 31, 116th Street and Pennsylvania Street
