The permit included a front yard fence within the front yard setback area which is not in conformance with the R-20; Single Family Residential District; . The proposed development will adversely impact adjacent residential properties as the facility will generate additional traffic and potential circulation hazards; . The proposed development will be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the Community because effective buffering cannot be achieved to protect the surrounding properties from the intrusion of added noise and traffic; . The proposed development will adversely affect the preservation of property values and the protection of the tax base within the surrounding neighborhood; · The proposed development may encourage marginal development within the neighborhood by over saturation of institutional uses within a small geographical area and cause the neighborhood to become a "transitional" area; · That special conditions and unique characteristics of the subject property and its location or surroundings are not present. Variance ~ The variance will constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity and the Single Family Residential District in which this property is located as no other properties in the immediate area contain fenced front yards that include area reserved as required yard setback. .
