Re: 1000-60-2-8
Existing Two Family House
Dear Mike:
In accordance with our discussion. I have reviewed the zoning of the above
parcel. The parcel is zoned B from 1957 through 1983 when the parcel was re-zoned
to "HB"with the adoption of a new zoning ordinance. The existing house was
constructed in the early 1900's and it was converted to a two-family, we believe as late
as the 1960's.
The first zoning ordinance adopted April 9, 1957 included 2-family as a permitted
use which continued as a permitted use throughout adopted amendments. In 1965
through 1966 the B zone permitted "dwellings designed for and occupied by not more
than four(4) families". Therefore, a two family dwelling continued to be a permitted use
under the broader definition until November 1971.
In November 1971 "A-Residential" required a Special Exception for"two family
dwellings, conversion of existing dwellings and new construction, not to exceed one
such dwelling on each lot". In B zoning any special exception permitted in A residential
was incorporate by reference . Therefore, in November 1971 a special exception is
required for a two-family use. There are no special exception or variances on this
parcel. However, there is no doubt from physical inspection of the structure that the
two family use was established before November 1971.
In review of the condition of the property the house is physically split into two
separate living spaces which from the appearance of the "newer" materials is from the
late 1950's or the 1960's. The original 1900's bathroom and kitchen at the rear of the
house were replaced with an early "1960's kitchen and bathroom" on each floor. The
assessment card identifies a significant increased assessment by 3/29/71 and the
dimensions of the structure on the card are correct. This re-assessment could be the
affect of a reconstructed kitchen and bathroom done sometime before 1971.
Michael Verity
Building Inspector

Page 2
From the assessor's property card, the assessments began in 1965. A transfer
is noted in 1967 and 1968. The photograph of the house, which appears the same
today, has separate entrance doors for a two family dwelling. The I. M. Young building
next door appears in the photograph. The I. M. Young building was demolished in
1978. The assessors failed to assess the structure as a two family dwelling.
Nevertheless, I spoke with Bob Scott and he advised me that, whether the house was a
one family or two family, the assessment would have been the same. They do not
generally identify on the property card a one family or two family since the assessment
does not differ.
Until November 1971 a two-family use was a permitted use in B zone. If we
need a building permit and C.O. for the pre-1971 kitchen and bathroom that can be
done. A pre-C.O. inspection for the original dwelling was completed by Gary Fish and it
is my understanding that no safety issues were noted.
If you wish to review the 1957, 1965, 1966 and 1971 zoning ordinances I can
provide them to you.

Re: 1000-60-2-8 (Gabriel)
Existing Two Family House
Dear Mike:
In accordance with our discussion on this date, a two family dwelling
continued to be a permitted use until November 1971. We would request a pre-co
for the dwelling and certificate of occupancy for the "as built" two family dwelling.
• The parcel is zoned B from 1957 through 1983 when the parcel was re-zoned to
"HB". The existing house was constructed in the early 1900's and it was
observed by Tom Grattan, James Rich and Raymond Terry, as provided in their
affidavits submitted on February 24th, to be a two family.
• The two family use was a permitted use after 1957, and continued to be a
permitted use till late 1971, we are prepared to apply for an "as built" permit for
the conversion of the pre-existing dwelling to a two family prior to November
1971.
• I have attached the applicable portion of the zoning ordinances which shows that
a two family dwelling was a permitted use until November 1971.
The first zoning ordinance adopted April 9, 1957 included 2-family as a
permitted use which continued as a permitted use throughout adopted
amendments.
In 1965 through 1966 the B zone permitted "dwellings designed for and
occupied by not more than four(4) families".
In November 1971 "A-Residential" required a Special Exception for"two
family dwellings, conversion of existing dwellings and new construction, not
to exceed one such dwelling on each lot". In B zoning any special
exception permitted in A residential was incorporate by reference . There
are no special exception or variances on this parcel.

The existing condition of the house is physically split into two separate living
spaces which from the appearance of the "newer" materials is from the late 1950's or the
1960's. The original 1900's bathroom and kitchen at the rear of the house were replaced
with an early "1960's kitchen and bathroom" on each floor. The assessment card
identifies a significant increased assessment by 3/29/71 and the dimensions of the
structure on the card are correct. This re-assessment could be the result of a
reconstructed kitchen and bathroom completed sometime before 1971.
Please review this with Mr. Fish and please advise as soon as possible.
