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 benefit 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.
