1 - Enclosing the existing attached pavilion would not produce an undesirable change or become a
detriment to nearby property on account to the finishes and materials to match the existing dwelling as
well as the use of this area will be personal within the rear of the property.
2 - The benefit that we seek is to extend the usage of our patio beyond the short summer and this can
only be achieved with the requested variances comparably to the variances granted on January 28, 2025
for building the attached pavilion.
3—The side yard variance requested is 11ft of the 15 ft required and 15.5ft of the 20ft required in the
rear yard.
4—The requested variance would not change the essential character of the neighborhood due to the
concealed location at the rear of the property.
5 — The eclosed pavilion is a self-created with reference to the only possible location of the pavilion in
the small lot.
We thank you for your consideration
