In my opinion, this one place where a variance would be appropriate because it would not have a negative visual impact on any of the surrounding residents and it would be an efficient use of the space for Menlo School.

As a neighbor of the school, I would much rather have them go 8 feet higher on a central building than to build something else closer to neighbors. Good idea, and I hope people can see the big picture at tonight's meeting. The school did a great job compromising with us on their gym project...
