The Bow Lake Community Club Inc. (d/b/a The Bow Lake Community Center) is requesting a Variance to Article 1.4.1, Section C Side and Back Yards and to Article 1.5.1, Paragraph B, Sections (1) and (2) of the Zoning and Land Use Ordinances in order to construct a 12.5 foot by 8 foot addition to the northerly side of the existing non-conforming structure known as the Bow Lake Grange Hall in order to house a new elevator to allow ADA accessibility to the main floor of the existing non-residential structure. The existing structure is closer to front, side, and rear boundaries than current ordinances require. At its closest point the proposed new addition would come within 7.1 feet of the northwesterly side boundary with the parking area owned by the State of New Hampshire, Water Resources Board, which is closer to the side boundary and to the parking area than current ordinances require.
