APPLICABLE ZONING APPROVAL CRITERIA /BOARD FINDINGS
9.3 The Zoning Board Administrator determined that based upon the location of the
expansion, by extending the footprint toward the front lot line along the same non-
conforming setback to build a new garage space would not be substantially more
detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing non-conforming garage on the site.
