The Applicant reserves the right to present expert testimony and evidence establishing that the Application can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good, and without substantial impairment of the intent and purposed of the zone plan and Code. The evidence will further show that the subdivision and construction of two additional homes, while maintaining the original structure, will advance the purposes of the Municipal Land Use Law and the public good.
