the hearing, makes the following findings of fact:
1. There was no opposition to the petition.
2. The granting of the petition will enhance the quality of life for the
petitioners.

at the hearings, the Board of Appeal concludes as follows:

and not the district in general.
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would
involve substation hardship to the petitioner.
3. The request relief can be granted without substantial detriment to the
public good and without nullifying and substantially derogating from
the intent of the district or purpose of the Ordinance.
