Supporting Statement — Papazian, 95 Chapman Street
Proposed changes to existing property:
Cape to Colonial conversion
The reason we have decided to change the current layout of our house is because of the small
living area for our family. We are currently living on the first floor only, not utilizing the second
floor except for storage. We also have a very small kitchen and living area, making it difficult to
get around for a growing family.
We are planning to demolish the 2"d floor (finished attic/ slopped ceiling) and build a full 2"d
floor with bathroom, and an attic. Current 2"d floor is not being utilized because of sloped
ceiling and lack of plumbing/ heating. There will be an overhang on the proposed side yard
(left), not detrimental to any of our neighbors.
Back porch is being torn down and moved a few feet closer to the bulkhead to make for a more
functional kitchen layout. If the entrance were to remain in the same place, the door would be
in the middle of the kitchen, making it difficult to design a working kitchen. The footprint of the
porch will remain the same, and will cause no hindrance to the bulkhead exit. We will be
keeping the existing measurements and maintaining the rear yard setback at 10.6'. The porch
will be enclosed to help cut down heat loss during the winter, and to improve our exit/
entrance during snow or rain storms.
All of the proposed plans were put in place to make for a more functional home that fits the
needs of our family, while improving the overall look of the neighborhood.
Thank you for your consideration,
Greg & Sylvie Papazian
