or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of

grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other
properties classified in the same district.
(e) That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental
to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties
or improvements in the vicinity.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs
