"Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes <br /> and intent of the ordinance . . . ." The proposed variance will be in harmony with the <br /> intent of the Zoning Code as the proposed improvement will not increase the footprint <br /> size, and will be partially screened from view by the vegetation that exists between the <br /> home and the street. <br /> 2. "Variances shall only be permitted . . . when the variances are consistent with the <br /> comprehensive plan." The addition to the residence is consistent with the comprehensive <br /> plan. Although the front setback is substandard, the home is set back approximately 180 <br /> feet from the travelled portion of Sixth Avenue North and the addition will be partially <br /> screened by existing vegetation. <br />
