Anew two-car garage is proposed to be constructed to serve the residence and current parking standards, architecturally compatible with the main structure. The location of the residence in the front of the lot with a detached garage in the rear of the property is consistent with the current development pattern in the neighborhood. 2. That moving or relocation of the residential structure will not be detrimental, decrease or diminish the value of real properties located adjacent to, or in the immediate vicinity of, the lot or parcel on which the residential structure is proposed to be moved or relocated. Relocating the residence will contribute positively to the neighborhood. The overall quality and design of the residence will be consistent with the existing neighborhood.
