The Geographical Area Involved & the Character of the Surrounding Area. /n this area (~f}"f()und~' View, most of the lots are larger than the subject property. Vie homes are generally (~{a similar style architecture and were built around the same time. although the su~ject home is newer and is larger than those in the immediate area. Many of the homes in the immediate area have larger garages. most (~rwhich are detached as in this proposal. A larger garage on the subject property would not appear Ollt of place. 3. Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. Adding to the existing garage will have an immediate positive impact on the value of the subject property. At 1.000 square feet. set back from the street as far as it is. this garage addition probably would not depreciate the surrounding area in any way. 5. The demonstrated need for such a use.

The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land. The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties. 3.
