SECTION 3. That subj'ect property is now zoned R-3j that
although property on the south, west and north is also zoned R-3,
the area across Second Avenue on the east is zoned for manufactur-
ing purposes. That the proposed modern installation will not create
excessive dust, odors, noise, vibrations or unsafe conditions, and
that with the proposed landscaping will not be deterimental to the
surrounding property.
SECTION 4. That the use of property for public utilities,
for which the variance is requested, is by its very nature an ex-
ceptional circumstance applicable to the intended use of the prop-

vicinity and zone since public utilities must be located where re-
quired in order to serve the community. That the granting of the

health or welfare, or injurious to property or improvements in such
zone or vicinity. That such a variance is necessary for the preser-
vation and enjoyJUent of a substantial property right of the appli-

ties to permit and promote their proper use and developmentj that
