Appeal # 03-167. The appeal of Rodney and Melba Quinn requesting enlargement and replacement of a non-conforming structure, namely to demolish a 10 foot by 16 foot section of a non-conforming single family dwelling and expand and replace this section of the building with a 25 foot by 41 foot structure on property they own at 175 Mighty Street (Map 83, Lot 4.003) which is in the Rural District and will not encroach any further into required setbacks. Mr. James Vear appeared on behalf of the Quinns and explained that the structure to be replaced is an ugly part of the building and they want to tear it down and replace it with a nicer addition that will be attached to the garage.

direction into any setbacks.
