Dear Chairman Freer:
As you are aware, our law firm has been retained by Diana and Matthew Seders with regard to
the area variance requested. On March 28, 2018, the Zoning Board of Appeals reviewed the
request for the Applicant to construct 864 square foot residential addition with an adjoining 320
square Feet. This new unit was proposed to the rear and west side of the horde and would not
provide for a connecting door to the existing home. The Zoning Board of Appeals at that time,
identified that they had concerns with the bequest as it was presented and as a result, the
Applicant tabled the application.
After hearing the continents of the Board, the Applicant returned to the builder and had the
addition redesigned. As the Board recalls, this additional space is being constructed for Mk-s-
Suder's mother. Her mother currently resides with thele, but is not able to navigate all of the
stairs in the home's current layout. The redesign will remove the existing garage and construct a
throe stall garage with living space above it. The footprint has been reduced. It will be 792
square feet of garage space and 792 square feet of living space which will be constructed for Mrs.
uders mother. This addition will a]low for a lift to be incorporated for her use as well as allow
her to access the existing home. This will function as an addition, not a separate unit.
This layout still requires relief, due to the inclusion of the kitchen. It is important for the
Applicants to maintain a kitchen in this addition, so that Mrs. Suders' mother can have privacy
and on days when she i s home alone, and or not feeling well, not have to walk far to the kitchen.
Although we understand that with the inclusion of the"kitchen," it creates a new unit and
converts this as a duplex. However, we also appreciate that each area variance is looked at on a
case by case basis. This addition with a kitchen, due to its co anecti vely, should be viewed

similarly to a basement with a wet bar or kitchen.
This new plan has been reviewed by the most immediately adjacent neighbors and has been
positively received. A copy of petition sighed by those neighbors is enclosed with this
submission. It is the hope of the Applicant that with the reduction in size of this Project; this
being an addition that has direct access to the home; and with the input of the neighbors, that the
Board will view this new request positively.
Please place this on an agenda in May.
Sincerely,
Bartl t P �' , ate 8 Rhodes, P, .
