the request of Mr. and Mrs. Nonnan Allin for pennission (1) to make an over 40%
second unit addition to a single family residence with existing nonconforming front

in lieu of the 4 ft. required on each; that the proposed lot coverage is 70.7% in
lieu of the 65% allowed; that the proposed usable open space does not meet the min-
imum dimensions to meet code although there is more than required open space; that

parking spaces where there is now one; that major remodeling of the existing dwelling
would cause a great financial burden; that many of the properties within 100 yards
have lot coverage in excess of 65% and several variances have been granted recently
