FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
ADMINISTRATIVE PERMIT NO. 13-010
FINDINGS OF APPROVAL - ADMINISTRATIVE PERMIT NO. 13-010
1. The proposed enclosure of an existing 286 sq. ft. deck to create a den, laundry room and
bathroom addition on an existing legal non-conforming use to not exceed 10% of the
permitted square footage is necessary to improve the aesthetic appearance of the
structure's architecture by bringing the design into greater conformance with the surrounding
neighborhood. The property's architectural appearance will be improved by removing non-
permitted additions to the structure.
2. The proposed 286 sq. ft. addition will not increase the number of stories. Instead, the
addition and alterations of removing the non-permitted construction will occur on existing
floor levels.
3. The proposed 286 sq. ft. addition will not cause the floor area to exceed more than 10% of
the floor area the structure contained at the time the use became nonconforming. The
proposed addition will increase the floor area by approximately 8%.
