4. Although the information initially provided the City was inadequate to support and prove that the lot was a non-conforming use, the Appellant has satisfied the burden of proof at the hearing. Although the information provided in City directories was refened to for activity of the site after 1956, the presentation of tax records clearly established that the structure was built prior to 1956, and the lot is non-conforming. 5. Historically the City has treated the site as having three living units, including the two in the duplex and one in the single-family structure. This is evidenced by the inspection report in April of 1976. 6. The Appellant has successfully proven thet the subject property is a non-conforming use.
