He said his office has no issues. The Board read the Town Department comments into the record. GENERAL CRITERIA: The subject property located at 3 Treasure Lane is approximately 10,411 square feet. There were no abutters present. WRITTEN FINDING CRITERIA: ARTICLE V -Nonconforming Buildings and Uses- §174-17. ses:§174-17. Continuance; Extensions; Alterations - Lawfully created structures or uses may be continued, although not conforming with the provisions of this chapter. Non- conforming single- or two-family dwelling structures may be changed, extended or altered if such change, extension or alteration complies with the dimensional requirements applicable to the lot under current provisions of §174-31 or, for lots which have been developed pursuant to §174-21, complies with such requirements as were applicable to initial construction of the dwelling under provisions of§174-21. Changes, extensions or alterations of non-confonning single- or two-family dwelling structures which do not meet the applicable dimensional requirements as set forth above, and changes, extensions or alterations of all other non-conforming structures, or non-conforming uses, may not be made unless there is a written Finding by the Zoning Board of Appeals that such change, extension or alteration shall: • not be substantially more detrimental than the existing non-conforming structure or use to the neighborhood, • and, that there is adequate land area to provide sufficient parking and setbacks as may be required. Although said Finding shall not constitute a Special Permit as defined by the General laws and this By-law, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall follow the procedures specified in the General Laws for Special Permits in processing requests for such Findings. Per Town Counsel: Section 174-17 of the Zoning By-laws for a Finding of Fact Cannot involve a Variance in the Decision/Finding of Pact. No such thing as "use variance". The Decision must be rendered in two separate statements/decisions if a Variance or Special Permit is involved along with a Written Finding. 2
