Continuance; Extensions; Alterations - Lawfully created structures or uses may be <br /> continued, although not conforming with the provisions of this chapter.Non-conforming single- <br /> or two-family dwelling structures may be changed, extended or altered if such change, extension <br /> or alteration complies with the dimensional requirements applicable to the lot under current <br /> provisions of§174-31 or,for lots which have been developed pursuant to§174-21,complies with <br /> such requirements as were applicable to initial construction of the dwelling under provisions of <br /> §174-21. <br /> Changes, extensions or alterations of non-conforming single- or two-family dwelling structures <br /> which do not meet the applicable dimensional requirements as set forth above, and changes, <br /> extensions or alterations of all other non-conforming structures, or non-conforming uses, may <br /> not be made unless there is a written Finding by the Zoning Board of Appeals that such change, <br /> extension or alteration shall: <br /> • not be substantially more detrimental than the existing non-conforming structure or <br /> use to the neighborhood, <br /> • and,that there is adequate land area to provide sufficient parking and setbacks as may <br /> be required. <br /> Although said Finding shall not constitute a Special Permit as defined by the General laws and <br /> this By-law, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall follow the procedures specified in the General <br /> Laws for Special Permits in processing requests for such Findings. Per Town Counsel: Section <br /> 174-17 of the Zoning By-laws for a Finding of Fact Cannot involve a Variance in the <br /> Decision/Finding of Fact. No such thing as "use variance". The Decision must be rendered in <br /> two separate statements/decisions if a Variance or Special Permit is involved along with a Written <br /> Finding. <br /> SPECIFIC FINDINGS <br /> The Board determined that: <br /> 1. The front yard setback of 27.6 ft. does not encroach any further into the front yard setback <br /> than what currently exists at 22.9 ft. Therefore the proposal will not be substantially more <br /> detrimental than the existing non-conforming structure or use to the neighborhood. <br /> 3 <br />
