After the review, the applicant proposed to demolish the existing structure on the site, thereby making the accessory structure the only structure on the lot. On January 6, 2016, the Zoning Board of Appeals as ZBA #16-03 denied the applicant’s request for the building to remain accessory and required it to be a “principal structure.”

 

2. The Board found that since the use of the structure had changed from accessory to principal, the landscaping plan needed to be amended.
