The addition will be 14' along the back of the existing house, and extend out 16' in the backyard. 9.3 There will be no nuisance or hazard to vehicles or pedestrians. 9.4 The current deck will be removed,and a new, 10'x 10' deck built next to it, attached to the addition room. 9.5 The addition will not have a basement, but will stand on pillars, as will the new deck.As a result, there will be minimal disturbance to the ground and surrounding area and underground drainage won't be impacted. The use will be in harmony with the purpose and Intent of the Zoning Bylaw. The room will have 12 casement windows, a single glass door opening to the deck,vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, and connect to the existing dining area.
