After inv~stigation and inspection the Board finds~that the
applicant requests permission to use existing dwelling as 2 family
residence. The applicant purchased a dwelling which~had been
illegally converted into a 2 family residence. The fact t/9~at he
did not know that this house was an illegal use when, he bought it
is irrelevant. The applicant's reason for appeal is not a valid
one because this Board is not permitted to consider financial
hardship as a legal hardship. The applicant does not have 25,000
sq. ft. of area or the equivalent of 2 building lots, therefore
the Board cannot possibly grant relief. A stipulation of this
action shall be that the tenant must vacate the apartment within
60 days, by February 1, 1970.
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance will
not p=oduce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship; the
hardship created is not unique and would be shared by all properties
alike in the immediate vicinity of this property and in the same use
district; and the variance would change the character of the neighbor-
hood and would not observe the spirit o~the. Ordinance.
, THEREFORE' ~.WAS RESOLVED~Marcia E. Do~ns, 1230. Watersedge

hereby apply to THE ZOMNG BOARD OF APPEALS for a SPECIAL .EXCEPTION in accordance with the
ZONING ORDINANCE ARTICLE i7_! SECTION 300
SUBSECTION 5~B
THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION IS REQUESTED BECAUSE
The premises in question were purchased by us as the
house now stands. We did not build the apartment onto the
house. Until about a year ago, the house was in the joint
names of myself and ~rso Helen E~ Dawson, my mother° Any
rental wi~ich has been derived from the apartment has been
paid to Mrs° Dawson and still is. It has been a source of
income for Mrs. Dawson who is a Senior Citizen of 75 years
of age. Her monthly income is from Social Security° This
rental has enabled her to take care of her medical and
hospital bills v£nich have been quite large in recent years.
Therefore, i would ask the Zmning Board of Appeals for
consideration of this special exception.

Dear Sirs
In reply to your letter to the Town Clerk RE~ an addition
on your present dwelling p~ease be advised that being on a corner lot
requires two front yard setbacks - one from each street.
You do not give the location of your property so I cannot
advise you specificaly on your lot without all of the necessary
information.
In general in a built up area the building line would be
the average~baek of the buildings on both streets$ If in an
open or undeveloped area a minimum of 35ft from each street would
be required. In either case the measurement woul~ be taken from the
line betwee~ your property and the highway.
I am enclosing a copy of the zoning ordinance as requested~
the fee for same is 255 please remit same to me at your earliest
convenience~ also enclosed please find application forms for building
permit.

Dear Sir:
We are interested in building an addition to
a home in your area and would like to know what your restrictions
are governing the distance required from the road to the building
proper. Does the fact that the lot is a corner lot have anything
to do with the requirements?
We would appreciate receiving a copy of your
Rules or Restrictions governing this type of construction. Primarily
we would like to know the distance required from the road.
We are enclosing a self addressed envelope for
your reply. Thank you.
