To be considered: 1. Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties; 2. Whether the benpfit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance; 3. Whether the requested area variance is substantial; 4. Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or {listrict; 5. Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created, which consideration shall be relevant to the decision of the ZBA but shall not necessarily preclyde the granting of the area variance. Please provide a detailed response to all five factors above: 1. The minor variamces for each lot will not create an undesirable change to the character of the neighboorhood. Theere are other properties with undersized lot areas lesg than the required. 2. We decided to have both lots have less than the required lot areas instead of only one lot having the deficiency. 3. The requested variances are 1.13% and very miniman. 4. As noted earlier, other adjacent properties are similar with undersized lot areas. 5. The difficutly ig not self-created as existing overall property contains 49,437.10 Sq.Ft. and we are shy 562.90 Sq.Ft. and the deeds metes and bounds dictate the size. , 7 (can use separate paper if necessary) .
