, � � ... Findina: There is a trend ncw for more new homes to be constructed with tnree car garages, and there are other new homes in the vicinity and zone that have three car garaqes. Because the topography permits, they are able to set back further from the front property line in order to keep the thirty foot driveway width out of the twenty foot setback area. b. Conclusior��. Gi-anting this variance would allow the Appli- cant a property riqht possessed by others in the vicinity and zone. Criterion No. 3• That the authorization of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property in the vicinity or zone in which the property is located. a. Findina: The lot is located on the end of a dead end street with Forest Park property abutting on the south and east (Pigeon Creek ravine also abuts on the east) . The wider driveway would provide a turn around for emerqency vehicles, since this is an older plat and does not have a cul de sac at the end of the street. b.
