Zoning Board Members present and voting were: chair M. Sanford Weil, Jr. , Alex Ghiselin and Elaine Reall. The Findings of the Board under Section 9.3 (1) (D) and 9 3 (2) (B) for an alteration of a Pre-existing non-conforming structure and for a change in use of a non-conforming structure on a non- conforming lot were as follows: 1. The Board found that the alteration and change in use will not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing non-conforming structure and use. Board members determined that, although many problems have resulted because of the past uses of the property, the applicant's plans to upgrade the building and convert it into four apartments will improve the conditions in the neighborhood. The applicant's proposal to subdivide the existing large second-floor apartment into two smaller apartments will result in a more orderly, controlled living arrangement. Also, the applicant's proposal to install an on-site, experienced manager will insure that problems are ORIGINAL PPoN'ED M RECYCLED PAPER 0xr 911M13 Of /441910056 11 U 23 handled in a timely manner. In addition, the regulated, legal use of the building as apartments will insure that illegal uses of the building will cease. 2. The Board found that the alteration and change in use of the non-conforming structure on a non-conforming lot will not create a new violation of the existing zoning requirements because the alteration will not change the footprint of the existing building, and the change in use is to a conforming use which requires the same or less minimum lot area, minimum lot width and frontage, minimum lot depth, setbacks, and parking than is required for the present use. Conditions imposed with this Finding are as follows: 1. As proposed by the applicant, an erperienced property manager shall reside on the property as a condition of this permit and have the authority to resolve problems vith abutters. 2. The name and phone numbers) of the property manager shall be submitted to the Building Department prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These numbers shall insure access to a "live" person rather than a machine in case of a problem. A dumpster shall be placed on the property and adequately screened. 4. The dumpster shall be in place and verified by the Building Commissioner prior to a Certificate of Occupancy being issued. 5. if the applicant chooses to provide on-site parking, a plan showing the location of parking spaces shall be submitted to the office of Planning a Development to become part of the file. 6.
