Investments, LLC FINDINGS OF FACT DEVELOPMENTAL 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 set back requested is consistent with those of other properties within the Character Sub Area. 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 set back requested is consistent with those of other properties within the Character Sub Area. 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 Applicant will be denied the ability to construct a multi family building as encouraged by the Zoning Ordinance and the Old Town District Overlay.
