SECTION 1. That there were no protests, either oral or written, to the granting of the requested variance; that the owners of many adjacent and nearby properties indicated their concurrence with the request by signing petitioner's application. That the two buildings to be moved onto the subject property are in good condi- tion, attractive and built strictly in accordance with Arcadia's standards; that the buildings presently located on subject property and to be removed therefrom are old and delapidated.

That the foregoing consti- tutes an exceptional circumstance applicable to subject property which does not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. That the granting of the requested variance will not be detrimental to the public health or Welfare, will not be inconsistent with good planning or with the present or prospective development of the neighborhood in which the property is located, but rather nIl im- prove the area, and is necessary for the enjoyment of substantial IJropertY,rights possessed by other properties in the same zone and vicinity. .
