erally to other property in the same vicinity and zone, in
that the proposed residence is approximately 100 feet long
and has over 6,800 square feet of floor space which is
four and one -quarter times the minimum size required in
Area District IV.

appropriate for a building's size, length and character.
C. Granting of a variance that has been found to be necessary
