However, approval of variances will allow for additional storage below the <br /> deck without having increasing any impact on hardcover or runoff from the site.

'The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety,comfort or <br /> morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter."
