UDO Section 2.10 – Minimum Lot Area – From 35 feet to 25 feet. Petitioner: Wedgewood Real Estate Partners, LLC FINDINGS OF FACT - DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS VARIANCE 1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community because: The requested variance is necessary in order to develop a new garage on Lot 3A, of which, consists the existing structure. By placing the garage in the rear, this will allow the removal of the driveway on Main Street allowing safer entrance and exit of the home. As a result, approval of the variance will not 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 requested variance is necessary in order to develop a new garage on Lot 3A, of which, consists the existing structure. The uses that surround the lot on the east, west and south are other existing single- family homes and the uses that surround the proposed new lot to the north are apartments. As a result, approval of the variance should have a positive impact on the use and value of homes and area that are adjacent to the proposed new lot. 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 R2 development standards, as strictly applied to the proposed lot, would result in practical difficulties in that they would prevent the creation of the new lot for the construction of a new custom home. As a result, absent the granting of the requested variance, the Applicant will not be able allow the construction of a new rear garage allowing safer traffic flow on Main Street.
