-3- scheme and drainage and landscaping plans. The Board then opened this matter up to questions from the floor. The administrator from Miller's Merry Manor was present and had some questions regarding the location of the entry and exit placements in relationship to Miller's Merry Manor. These questions were answered and the next person to speak was Steve Edwards, who owns approximately 7 pieces of property in the area. He felt that it would be an asset to the community and was behind this 100%. There being no futher discussion from the floor the Board discussed the variance in question and reviewed the findings of fact. The Board found that the approval would not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community and in fact felt this would be a great asset to the community. (2) That the use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance would not be affected in a substantially adverse manner, and that the structure should be an asset to the community and the adjacent properties. (3) That the need for the variance arises from some condition peculiar to the property involved due to the slope of the property and the type of development that would be necessary to fully use this property being limited to this type of structure versus breaking it down in residential areas with the resulting drainage problems and portions of the ground that could not be used. (4) That the strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance would constitute an unnecessary hardship if applied to the property for which a variance is sought in that a local business classification would not be compatible with the surrounding residential uses. (5) That the approval does not interfere substantially with the comprehensive plan adopted under the Indiana Code in that this is a compatible use with the prior location of the neighborhood and proximity to schools and residential areas. The Board then entertained a motion and Tilford Bailey moved to grant the variance. This was seconded by Don Barry and Warren Franklin and the vote was unanimous.
