considered by the Planning Commission.
Section 3. Based on the evidence received at the public hearing, the Planning Commission

resulting in an increase of valuation of 80.25% while maintaining a less than required side -
yard and garage setback.

following findings:
1. The existing nonconformities are not severe or unusual ,

of the Zoning Ordinance.
