Findings of Fact:
I. The approval of these variances will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals, and general
welfare of the community because: the building addition will be built on the side road and not on the main
road, and it will add value to the site and to the neighborhood.
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 building addition will be built on the side road and not on the
main road, and it will add value to the subject site and to the adjoining properties.
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: a building addition could not be built, possibly causing a
hardship for the family trying to care for the mother in law.
Recommendation:
After all concerns have been addressed, the Dept. of Community Services recommends positive consideration
of Docket No. 11100005 V.
