After lengthy revieW of the recorde, it hae beea determined thnt the property wae converted without pe:mit after 1956 aud therefore can not be cocaidered legal (nonconforming), There are aeveral facts that Fupport this determinatiac. 1• The atructure !a located on a 6,000 equare foot lot. Th� 1956 zoning code required 7,500 aquare feet for a duplez. (Our ner code calla for 9,000 square feet in an R-2 zone.) pe wwld not have granted thie uae xithout a variance. There ie no record of a variance for thie property, 2• While several building permite were isaued for glwbing and ather repaira� there ie no i�ication that the occupancy sras to c,han$e to a duplez. There were no persita for a converaion. 3• The County Aseeesor ahmre thie property as being aeaeseed as a single faaily drel.ling and haa beea 88eeeaed as such eince it wae built in 1901. 4• In 1949 the PIID etatea they inatalled a meter for 2 uaite. However, in the letter they also etate that the meter R+as removed in May, 1967. Our recorde ahov a permit yrae iesued for reinstallation of the meter in May, 1970.

Therefore, the permit wae iasued ia error. Baeed on this infornation, the dwelling can only be used as a eingle fasily d�relling.
