Dear Ms. MacCallum:
In response to your letter of April 11:
Re: Issue #1- 30% rule, need to reduce square footage
'Z'ECE;VED
APR 2 5 a0l
0f So. Bor'Qogton
Upon reviewing the plans submitted to your office on April 10th two facts presented
themselves which will put the intended accessory unit well within 30% of the present
structure, or very close, depending upon what is allowed.
1-1 realized that, in my haste, 330 sq. ft. of living space in the finished basement waste
overlooked when square footage was calculated. This brings the house to 1746 sq. ft. (not
1416 ). (also, the garage at 24' x 24' and 1 1 /2 bathrooms were not included)
2- 60 sq. ft. of the accessory unit is actually not intended as living space. It is closet area to
be installed under the existing house roof. This would bring the accessory unit down from
540 sq. ft. to 480 sq. ft.
If the 30 % rule is applied the unit then falls well within the limits.
Re: Issue #2 - I will continue to own and live in the house.
Re: Issue #3 - The accessory unit is planned for my 85 year old mother, who is in excellent
health.
It is also important to note that the plans for the addition were carefully designed by an
architect to enhance the appearance of the existing house and compliment present
neighborhood styles. This was done without any change to the existing footprint of the
house and with unobtrusive roof line design.
If the board is still not satisfied with the plans as presented and revised, I would like to
apply for a variance in order to arrive at board approval.
Sincerely,
Elaine Greenfield

1-1 realized that, in my haste, 330 sq. ft. of living space in the finished basement was
overlooked when square footage was calculated. This brings the house to 1746 sq. ft. (not
1416 ). (also, the garage at 24' x 24' and 1 1 /2 bathrooms were not included)
2- 60 sq. ft. of the accessory unit is actually not intended as living space. It is closet area to
be installed under the existing house roof. This would bring the accessory unit down from
540 sq, ft. to 480 sq. ft.
If the 30 % rule is applied the unit then falls well within the limits.
Re: Issue #2 - I will continue to own and live in the house.
Re: Issue #3 - The accessory unit is planned for my 85 year old mother, who is in excellent
health.
It is also important to note that the plans for the addition were carefully designed by an
architect to enhance the appearance of the existing house and compliment present
neighborhood styles. This was done without any change to the existing footprint of the
house and with unobtrusive roof line design.
If the board is still not satisfied with the plans as presented and revised, I would like to
apply for a variance in order to arrive at board approval.
Sincerely, ,
Elaine Greenfield
