The carriage house, presently in existence on the 1ot, <br /> was in existence at the time of the passage of applicable <br /> ordinances as well as at the time when Mr. Rhode ' s lot <br /> was created and given its description as presently recorded. <br /> 16 . Rhode ' s original 1977 plan proposed conversion of the <br /> existing carriage house into a guest house. This plan <br /> was later amended to use of the carriage house as an <br /> accessory building for storage only. <br /> a) Resolution No. 851 made a finding as follows : <br /> "Mr. Rhode ' s proposed use of the carriage house <br /> for storage of his passenger cars and personal <br /> belongings does not qualify the house as a garage <br /> and therefore an accessory structure. The carriage <br /> house is in excess of the size limitaticns for an _ <br /> accessory use. Such a continued use of the carriage <br /> house would be adverse to the in�ent and purposes of <br /> • the Zoning Code , would res,zlt in diminution in value <br /> to the surrounding property. Plans for the house <br /> show construction of adequate garage and storage space <br /> attached to the home. There would be too much hardcover <br /> if the carriage ho�sse remained and the pr000sed house <br /> was constructed. " ' <br /> PAGE l OF �3 � <br />
