Case 2/10/99–1
You are hereby notified that the application of Daniel E. Luter for a variance to the terms of section 6.2.1 of the Wilton Zoning Ordinance has been denied.
If granted, the variance would have permitted the division of a single-family home into two dwelling units on Lot K-002, 6 Livermore Street, where the lot size is less than the area required for two dwelling units.
The variance was denied for the following reasons:
- The Zoning Board found that the character and use of lot K-002 is consistent with the other lots in the Residential/Agricultural District along the north side of Livermore Street, and that there are no unique characteristics of lot K-002 which would constitute a hardship.
- The Zoning Board also found that there was no hardship because of the existing productive single-family residential use of the lot.
- The Zoning Board found that permitting a two-family use of the lot would be inconsistent with the spirit of the Zoning Ordinance, which establishes Livermore Street as a boundary between the Residential and Residential/Agricultural Districts, and excludes the lots on the north and east sides of Livermore Street from the Residential District, and makes specific provisions for the multi-family use of existing dwellings on substandard lots only in the Residential District (Section 5.3.7).
