1.)
EXHIBIT B
Administrative Hearing Officer's Finding of Fact
Would the house still have value even if the variation is not granted?
Yes, the house will still have value, but the aesthetics of the house would be greatly
enhanced by the porch.
2.) Is the necessity of the variation of the petitioner's own doing?
Yes, the request to add a porch is from the petitioner.
3.) Would the variation alter the character of the neighborhood?
The answer is no, there is a variety of setbacks already established, so allowing a
three -foot encroachment will not alter any part of the neighborhood.
