1. Based on the evidence s~bmitted at the abovesaid
hearing this Council finds and det~mines as follows:
(a) The strict application\of the rear yard
setback requirement of the A1 district~ould deprive the
subject property of privileges not othe~ise at variance
w~th the intent and pur. pose of said z.onin~, requirements,
s~nce, due to the conditions imposed herei~below, the
reduction of such setback from 25 feet to l~feet will not
adversely impact neighboring property.- \~
(b) There are no special circumstan~s applicable
to the subject property justifying waiver of thex~height and
side yard setback requirements of the A1 Distric~
(c) The modification of the rear yar~ setback
requirement is necessary to allow reasonable evening~use of
the athletic field on the subject property.
(d) Due to the conditions imposed hereinbelo~, a
variance from the rear yard setback requirement will not be
materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious'~to
surrounding property, since the adverse light and glare an~
aesthetic effects of the field lights will be mitigated to~
an insignificant level.
