The Board of Appeal after careful consideration of the evidence presented
and after viewinq the plans makes the following finding of fact:
1 . Due to topography the dwelling could not be constructed in any
other manner.
2. The lot in question is a corner lot, on both Barnes Road, and
Eames Circle, and because of this petitioner is required to have
a 15 foot setback, rather than a 10 foot on the side.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on the evidence presented
at the hearing, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:
1. The relief requested can be granted without creating a substantial
detriment to the public good and without substantially derogating
from or nullibying the intent or purpose of the Ordinance;
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance would involve
substantial hardship to the petitioner;
3. Special conditions and circumstances exist which especially affect
the subject property but do not affect the district generally.
