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