The following questions reflect the criteria for granting this type of variance. Please complete them; use additional sheets if
needed.
1. Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to
nearby property will be created by the granting of this area variance?
No,an undesirable change will not be produced on the character of the neighborhood.The applicant is proposing to replace
an existing house within a similar footprint.
2. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant
to pursue, other than an area variance?
No,the lot size and zoning criteria makes construction of a conforming structure that is worthwhile and feasible to construct
very difficult.
3. Whether the requested area variance is substantial?
No,the requested area variance is not substantial,shoreline setback variance relief requested is less than 2 feet.Floor area
variance relief request is 451 SF and therefore not substantial.
4. Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental
conditions in the neighborhood or district?
No,the proposed variance will not have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the
neighborhood.The improved septic system and stormwater management will have positive impacts on the neighborhood.
