The project consists of raising the "Cottage#2" and moving it 3 ft. further from the property line with two modest additions attached to the dwelling, as well as a deck. This property is situated on Seconsett Island that is a unique community within the Town as there is a series of small cottage colonies throughout the neighborhood. As depicted on the plan, there are four residential structures situated on this lot. These structures have existed since the early 1950's and have existed prior to the time that the Town adopted the zoning bylaws. Therefore not only the use, but the structures are pre-existing, non- conforming uses and structures. 1
