FINDINGS OF FACT:

D. That petitioner testified that she has a small house with no storage and requires a detached garage.
E. That petitioner testified that she cannot move the detached garage's location as there is an existing driveway that leads the existing concrete slab.
F. That the Zoning Hearing Officer finds that petitioner has demonstrated evidence for the subject zoning relief and has demonstrated evidence for a practical difficulty and particular hardship in relation to the subject property.
a. That petitioner demonstrated that she proposes to replace the previous detached garage that burned down with a new detached garage on the existing concrete slab, which was previously constructed too close to the interior side property line.
b. That petitioner demonstrated that she cannot move the proposed detached garage's location as she has an existing driveway that leads to the existing concrete slab in which the proposed detached garage will be constructed upon.
STANDARDS FOR VARIATIONS:
1. That the Zoning Board of Appeals finds that petitioner has demonstrated that the granting of the Variation is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood, detrimental to the public welfare, or in conflict with the County's comprehensive plan for development; and specifically, that the granting of the Variation will not:
a. Impair an adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent property as petitioner has demonstrated that she is replacing the previous detached garage that burned down on the existing concrete slab, which was originally constructed too close to the corner side property line and does not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property.
b. Increase the hazard from fire or other dangers to said property as petitioner has demonstrated that she will obtain a building permit for the proposed new detached garage on existing concrete slab, and that it will be built pursuant to all building codes.
c. Diminish the value of land and buildings throughout the County as petitioner has demonstrated that she is replacing the previous detached garage that burned down on the existing concrete slab and that the proposed construction will be an added benefit to the surrounding area.
d. Unduly increase traffic congestion in the public streets and highways as petitioner has demonstrated that the proposed detached garage is located behind the front wall of the subject home and does not unduly increase traffic congestion in the public streets and highways.
e. Increase the potential for flood damages to adjacent property as petitioner has demonstrated that the proposed detached garage on existing concrete slab will not increase the potential for flood damages to adjacent property.
f. Incur additional public expense for flood protection, rescue or relief as petitioner has demonstrated that she is replacing the previous detached garage that burned down on the existing concrete slab will not incur additional expense for flood protection, rescue, or relief.
g.
