The scope of work authorizes construction of an attached structure with a basement. Zoning documents place the property within a RSA-5 zoning district on a lot measuring approximately 658 square feet. The proposed building footprint totals 490 square feet, resulting in 25 percent open area, or 168 square feet, which exceeds the minimum open area requirement for an intermediate lot. Plans show a rear yard depth of 12 feet, surpassing the minimum rear yard standard, while overall building height is listed at 27 feet 6 inches, remaining well below the 38-foot maximum permitted by zoning.
