                  the location, character, and other features of the proposed building, structure, or
                  use as may be deemed by the Board to protect property values and general welfare of
                  the neighborhood. Violation of such conditions and safeguards, when made a part of
                  the terms under which the variance is granted, shall be deemed a violation of this
