~~ 10. The only exterior structural change involves Lhe squar- ing off of the building resulting in a gross square foot increase of 745 square feet. 11. Aoplicant proposes to improve the appearance of the structure by improving the landscaping and general _ condition of the premises. Based on the foregoing; the Zoning Board of Adjustment reaches the following conclusions: “1. |The premises is and has for many years been used as a single family residence. The area surrounding the subject premises, although zoned in such a way as to permit singlé family uses, has been developed in a manner more consistent with commercial and multi-family uses than single family uses. Accordingly, the single family. use of the premises is not compatible with the surrounding area. 2. In consequence of the foregoing, there is substantial | potential in the immediate future for deterioration and | obsolescence of the dwelling house if it must continue to be used as a residential dwelling. 3.° The proposed use is more compatible with the surrounding area than the existing use and in conversion of the. structure to the more compatible real estate sales office will tend to prevent. its deterioration and obso- lescence, all of which will tend to. benefit the surroun@ing area by encouraging business activity in an area which has predominately business uses. 1 w '
