Chairman Carroll confirms this dwelling is in a Single Residence `B' district. Yes. Mr. Phu Nguyen explains his request is from Section 5.2 and Section 5.6 of the Zoning By -Laws and he reads the sections for the record. Mr. Nguyen states it would not be detrimental to the neighborhood by re- establishing a two family dwelling. Chairman Carroll asks if it was a two family dwelling when he moved in. No. Chairman Carroll asks how he knows it used to be a two family. Mr. Nguyen explains the previous owner told him it used to be a two family and the setup of the dwelling indicates it is and there are also two meters on the house. Chairman Carroll asks if Mr. Nguyen lives there now. No, it is being rented. Chairman Carroll asks if he is going to rent it if he is granted the two family. Yes. Mr. Gregory Pando asks if the only intent is to reestablish a two family use. Yes. Mr. Pando asks if there will be any exterior renovations. No, internal only. Mr. Pando states the only concern is it is a Pre-existing non- conforming use that has been abandoned over a period of two years. Chairman Carroll explains that is why he is here. Mr. Pando states it falls under Section 5.6 for the potential of re-establishing the use if it isn't detrimental to the neighborhood. Chairman Carroll states the petitioner has recognized this. Chairman Carroll states the Board can avoid the requirement of a Variance. Mr. Gary Vinciguerra explains that the assessor's report does not indicate this dwelling to be a two family. Chairman Carroll states he understands the point but the assessors records are not always kept very current. Mr. Vinciguerra states under Section 6.1.1 for parking it requires you to have two spaces per unit so you would need a total of four. Mr. Nguyen states they have enough. Mr. Vinciguerra states it would be helpful to see that on a plan. Chairman Carroll asks how many spaces they have. Six.
