application of Bud & Alison Etherton, 42 Elsom Parkway.

hearing and the documents submitted to the Zoning Board of
Adjustment which are contained within the "document file" for
this application, the Zoning Board finds, concludes, and decides
as follows:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1) The area in question is zoned R-4 District.

residential dwelling.
4) The proposed addition 12'x 16' will be located to within six
(6) feet of the northerly side yard.
5) The lot is a irregular corner lot with 125 feet of frontage
on Elsom Parkway and 131 feet on Circle Drive.
6) The north-west corner of the dwelling has a side yard set-
back ,of thirty (30) feet due to the irregularity of the
property.
Conclusion

appeal. The proposed addition is located approximately
thirty (30) feet from their dwelling.
2) House constructed in 1950's, proposed bathroom will bring
house in line with modern standards.

causes hardship.

Board of Adjustment hereby grants the applicant's request to
construct a 12'x 16' bathroom addition, located at 42 Elsom
Parkway. /"-)
