<br /> and a 378 square foot addition to the rear ofthe structure. The minimum side yard setback is <br /> five feet with a total of fifteen feet between the two side yard setbacks. Since the northern <br /> side yard setback is as little as 4.5 feet and the southern side yard setback is between 9.5 and . <br /> 10 feet, the addition would slightly encroach upon the southern side yard setback by <br /> approximately one half foot. Although the encroachment is slight, a variance is required to <br /> proceed. The proposed addition would be in line with the existing structure; however, it <br /> would slightly increase the non-conformity ofthe structure by increasing the amount of <br /> structure within the side yard setback. The second addition at the rear of the structure meets <br /> all required setbacks and does not need a variance. Upon completion, the total footprint of <br /> the dwelling would increase to approximately 2,288 square feet. <br /> The applicant is also proposing to expand the existing 449 square foot accessory structure by <br /> 282 square feet to a total of 731 square feet. The accessory structure is currently non- <br /> conforming due to the encroachments on the front and side yard setbacks and because it is in <br /> the front yard, which is not allowed. All but the last 3.2 feet ofthe proposed addition would <br /> be in the front yard setback. While the addition will not be any closer to the lot lines than the <br /> existing structure, the addition will be as close to the lot line as the existing structure at just <br /> 2.3 feet from the side yard lot line. The minimum side yard accessory structure setback is 10 <br /> feet. Finally, with the addition, the height of the accessory structure would increase from <br /> roughly twelve feet to approximately 21 feet 9 inches at the peak. <br />2.
