Summary of the decision

SE-07-03-020 — KAREN KASSIK, AGENT FOR JAMES GILCHRIST

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The primary residence is a very large home consisting of almost 5,000 square feet of living area. It is centrally located on a large, two acre lot. The proposed guest cottage is two stories in height. The ground level is a garage and bath area. The upper level consists of living area with a kitchen.

Precedence has been set by the BZA in past cases with similar Variances for guest cottages. In those cases, the lots were large in size, and the primary homes were large as well. The proposed guest cottages were sized to be in balance with the primary residences. The subject request is consistent with those historical approvals.

There was no opposition to this request.
