conditions, peculiar to the particular property.
B. That because of such physical circumstances or conditions, the property
cannot be developed in strict conformity with the provisions of the zoning

For residential height variances: The petitioner shall be required to add two (2)
feet to each side yard set back for each one (1) foot above 35 feet in height and if
the rear yard abuts a side yard of the adjacent lot the same added setback

Permit longevity: Unless otherwise specifically provided by the board as a
condition of approval, any variance granted by the board shall automatically
