In addition to the permission required by the Board under other
sections of this Bylaw, the Board of Appeals may also grant:
A. A permit for the extension of an existing non-conforming building,
either within the same district or into a more restricted district,
all under such conditions as will safeguard the character of both
districts. This shall not apply where alteration, reconstruction,
extension, or structural change to a single or two-family residential
structure does not increase the non-conforming nature of said structure.
B. Uses accessory to activities that are necessary for scientific research,
scientific development or related production allowed by right, whether
or not on the same parcel as said scientific activities, may be allowed
by Special Permit provided the Board of Appeals finds that the proposed
accessory use does not substantially derogate from the public good.
C. In an undeveloped section of the Town restricted by this Bylaw a
conditional permit of not more than two years duration for a structure
or use not permitted by these Bylaws in the district where it is located
but which is necessary to the development of such section.
D. A permit for a change of a non-conforming use to one no more harmful
or objectionable.
E. A permit to allow houses, which because of their size have become
unsuitable or unsalable for their original purpose due to changes
in present day living conditions to be occupied by more families than
allowed in the zoning district in which they are situated, under such
conditions and limitations as will not substantially affect adversely
the present characteristics of the district in which they are situated.
F. A permit to allow a use which is neither an exempt accessory use as defined in §
375-5.1 "exempt accessory use" nor a use otherwise permitted in the district if said use is owned or operated by an exempt institution and only under such conditions as the Board imposes in order to safeguard the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood. If the chief activity of said use is a gainful activity usually conducted as a business, it shall be located on the same parcel as the exempt institution by which it is owned or operated.
