Currently, the house is located <br />at the far southwestern comer of the property. Removal of the house from its existing location <br />requires a variance because the lot is less than 5 acres in the RR-l A district. Actual lot size is 4.8 <br />acres. Excluding the areas designated as wetland the lot has a defined lot area of approximately 4.0 <br />acres dry buildablc. <br />An accessory building is located behind the house. If the house is lelocated the building would be <br />closer to the front property line than the principal residence. The Zoning Ordinance prohibits <br />accessory buildings from being located closer to the front property line than the principal building. <br />A variance would be required to permit the existing accessory building to remain on the property <br />subsequent to relocation of the house. <br />Pertinent Code Sections <br />1.
