Rebuild of fire-damaged home on non-conforming lot

North Salem, NY

Summary

A family who lost their home to fire got the variances needed to rebuild with slightly more coverage and floor area than zoning allows, on a lot too small to meet current rules. The board found the hardship wasn't self-created since the fire caused it.
