FINDINGS
The Zoning Board Administrator granted the Finding for the second story expansion based upon the information submitted with the
application.
The Administrator found that the criteria in 3509.3 for expansion of a previously nonconforming front yard setback that would extend the
structure vertically but would not come closer to the front yard lot line was not substantially more detrimental to the neigborhood than the
existing nonconformity.

e. Remodeling and Additions can be completed in accordance with IECC 2009 with Energy Star
Windows and the Thermal Bypass Checklist. Duct blast testing when practicable.
f. All band joist insulation must be enclosed within an air tight cavity, which you must create.
40. Vapor retarders.Although these are still in the code have exceptions, one must understand that there is
a difference between a vapor retarder or barrier and an air barrier.An air barrier is intended to stop air
flow(convection) a vapor retarder or barrier is intended to stop molecular moisture transfer(diffusion).
A vapor retarder or barrier is effective even if there are some holes or gaps, however an air barrier has
to be absolute and complete. If air can leak through an electrical device or through a crack it follows the
path of least resistance and carries 99%of the moisture in a structure.This is evident every time one
exposes fiberglass insulation and finds black insulation, which has filtered dirt out of the air moving
through the insulation. 780 CMR R601.2 for vapor retarders and Table N1102.4.2 for air sealing
requirements.
41. Unvented attic assemblies. Hot roofs are allowed, but have specific requirements 780 CMR R806.4.

c. Heat detector in attached garage, and other large unfinished unconditioned spaces.
44. Closets beneath stair which have doors must be drywalled with %". 780 CMR R302.7
45. If there is mechanical equipment or a combustible roof,30 sqft of space, and 30" measured from top of
ceiling joist to bottom of rafters an attic access of minimum RO of 22"x 30" is required to be located in
an accessible place. It must be insulated equal to surrounding,gasketed, and secured in place.
46. Clearances above gas stoves and cook tops burners is 24" to non-combustible or 30" to combustibles.
