The Board discussed the appeal and agreed that the variance would not conflict with any of the
following 5 points from Article II Section v6 of the zoning ordinance.

2 .The effect, if the variance is allowed on the increased population density thus produced on
available governmental facilities (fire, water, refuse disposal, and the like)
3. Whether a substantial change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a
substantial detriment to adjoining properties created.
4 . Whether the difficulty can be obviated by some method feasible for the applicant to pursue ,
other than a variance.

factors the interest of justice will be served by allowing the variance.
