4. Adverse Environmental/Physical Impact: The Board finds that the proposed variance will not have an
adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood.
Reasoning: No traffic impact and in line with the area. Did not hear anything from neighbors. Private
use. This building and use are common  in the area.  Project will blend in very well with character at the
area.
5. Self-Created Difficulty: The Board finds that the alleged difficulty was self-created.
Reasoning: Applicants could choose not to build a barn. Majority of variances are self-created. Due to
the location, use of desired location by the Applicants, this is self-created.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the variance is granted.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution shall be filed in the office of the Town of Wales
Town Clerk and the Town of Wales Building Department.
