Variance was requested to permit conversion of an existing accessory building to residential use, building an addition onto it and con- . necting it to the main residence by a breezeway to effectuate a duplex unit. Renovation would include full insulation, interior finishing, heating plant, kitchen, bedroom, bath, etc. 2. The proposed building lies almost entirely within the required rear yard area, 3 feet from the rear lot/causing a major encroachment. 3. There are other locations available that could be utilized for a duplex addition to the existing residence, and which, would not require a variance. 4. An addition to the right side of the attached garage, of a size compara- ble to the garage, would provide the desired separation of living units, design and aesthetics could be pleasing and cost,which may not be con- sidered a factor,would be comparable.
