2 a. 1) Appellant has a purely business-oriented background, is now un-
employed and unable to find suitable ..,loyaent. He must, of necessity
provide tor his wite and two children, pay taxes and care for the
property he owns. Approval of this appeal would give him the aeans
ot doing all these responsible, desireable, and necessary duties.
2 a. 2) No other property owner in this i_ediate area finds hillSelf
in these difficult cireUDStances, nor do they object to the p~pose
of this Tarianoe.

public service and religious properties.
Referring to the submitted map of this area, it will be noted

In this particular district, then, lie two residential properties,
five or aore non-residential properties and one unimproved parcel of
land.
The owners of the two residential properties, naMly Boland
and Legg, have been consulted concerning this appeal for a variance
and reacted favorably.
REMARKS .
A. There is not now an operating convenience store within the
boundaries of the hamlet of Chelsea.
B. Residents of this coaaunity who have been approached, indicate
they would welcome a local convenience business as a practical and
desireable addition to ChelBea.
C. There is aore than ample off-street parking available for
the present, and additional space available for any future needs.
(See Map)
Considering the need for and willingness of the appellant to
engage in a convenience type grocery business in the now businesB-
lea. coaaunity of Chelsea, and, taking into account that the people
would welcome such a venture in this baalet, and since the property
under consideration is well-suited for the conte-,lated purpose, it
th,refore would see. that the approval of this variance would serve,
not only to benefit the appellants, but also to benefit Chelsea and,
in turn, the Town of Wappinger.

J. Town of Wappinger - by keeping some 1...1 traffic off the main-
travelled and soaetimes ja_ed and hazardous roads of the
