Jr . and Estelle Grigonis , their heirs , legal representatives and
assigns , the right to use the subject 50-foot wide right-of-way .
5 . After inspection and reinspection , it is the opinion of the
board members that improvements are necessary to provide suitable
access as required by New York Town Law , Section 280-a , for emergency
and other vehicles (as noted below) ._

reasoning of ,appellant sin._cea _.' (a) the relief requested is
not substantial ; ( b ) there will be n'o substantial change in
the character of this district ; (c ) the relief as conditionally
granted will not cause a substantial effect or detriment to adjoining ,
properties ; _ (d ) the circumstances of this appeal are unique
and there is no other method feasible for appellants to pursue other
than a variance ; (e ) in view of the manner in which the difficulty
arose , justice will be served by allowing the variance , as indicated
below .
