welfare of the community because:
The proposed addition is in the rear of the existing house and will not impact the existing facade or front
facing features, Also, the proposed addition will follow in the style of the existing home, and won't detract
visually. All other aspects of development will comply with the required standards related to drainage and
the variance only requests the relief necessary to accommodate this addition.

in a substantially adverse manner because:
The proposed addition is in the rear of the existing house and will not impact the existing facade or front
facing features. Also, the proposed addition will follow in the style of the existing home, and won't detract
visually. All other aspects of development will comply with the required standards related to drainage and
the variance only requests the relief necessary to accommodate this addition. Ultimately, the addition will
add value to the house and by extension, the neighborhood.
3. The strict application of the terms of the Unified Development to the property will result in
practical difficulties in the use of the property because:

to promote the homeowner's ability (and future homeowner's ability)to age in place.
