Finding from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
EMAIL ADDRESS:
NATURE OF PROPOSED WORK:
REAR 20 X 24 ADDITION
HARDSHIP:
CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
1) The addition may be 2-stories for a maximum length of 16'. The first floor footprint may extend an
additional 8'for a total length of 24'as shown in the conceptual massing plan submitted at the 5128109
hearing.
2). The design of the exterior shall be substantially similar to the revised elevations submitted at the
5128109 hearing.
FINDINGS:
The designated Zoning Administrator granted the Finding based on the materials and graphics submitted with the application and at the
hearing.
1. East, West& South Elevations dated 5128109.
2, Conceptual Massing revised 5128109.
The Findings of the Board Administrator under Section 9.3 for the addition along the rear of the existing single family house related to
the side yard setbacks were as follows:
1. The Administrator found that the change would not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing
nonconforming structure on the lot. Other houses in the neighborhood have similar footprints and are of similar sizes to that approved.
The addition would extend to within 4'of the side lot line. The current non-conforming structure is 4'from the line at its closest point. No
other setbacks are affected. The minimum rear yard setback of 20'will be maintained or continue to be exceeded with the extension of
the structure along the side line toward the rear.
2. The Administrator found that the home would not extend any closer to any front, side, or rear property boundary than the current
zoning allows and that the pre-existing structure already extends.
3. The Administrator also determined that the new construction would not create any new violation of other zoning provisions;and does
not involve a sign.
