The Board had no further questions. Findings: Mr. Adrian made a motion, seconded by Ms. Mika, to approve Application # 6165. Mr. Adrian reviewed the area variance criteria as follows: • Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties – No • Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some feasible method other than a variance – No • Whether the request is substantial – No • Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district – No • Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created – Yes, but the balancing test favors granting the variance All members voted in favor of the motion.
