(d) The variance will not have a significant adverse affect on property or improvements in the neighborhood of the subject property; and (e) The variance will not have a significant adverse affect upon the health or safety of persons working or residing in the vicinity; and (f) The variance will maintain the intent and purpose of the provision being varied. 7. The subject property is relatively small for the area and is triangularly shaped. This shape makes it difficult for traditionally shaped buildings to meet all setbacks, particularly when the parcel is already developed with other structures and requires a septic system for proper waste disposal. The building area is also limited by the need to maintain the driveway through the center of the parcel to allow vehicle access to the rear (north) portion of the property. The proposed location and degree of variance from the 20-foot minimum standard will allow sufficient open space to access the rear portion of the property with vehicles and keep the proposed structure away from the well and open areas necessary for potential replacement drain field locations. The reduced setback will not encroach upon a potential right-of-way expansion, nor will it create a safety hazard for vehicles. Additionally, this structure is not proposed immediately adjacent to structures on neighboring properties, so there is decreased risk of fire danger and the applicant is required to meet the standards of the local fire district as a condition of approval. Lastly, the proposed structure is for residential uses, which is a use that is unlikely to cause any adverse effects on the health and safety of those working and living in the local area. With this combination of factors, the applicants are able to meet each of the above criteria. The criteria a-e are met. 8. Based on the above findings, the applicant’s request meets all applicable criteria and is, therefore, APPROVED.
