Description
Respondents Larry Carroll, Sr. and Betty Carroll (the Carrolls) own property located within the limits of respondent Town of Hillsborough (the Town). The Carrolls applied, on 21 March 1991, to the Towns Planning Department for a permit to construct a thirty-foot by thirty-five-foot addition to a metal storage building located at the rear of their property. The existing metal storage building is located less than the required twenty feet from the rear boundary of the Carrolls lot, and is a non-conforming use pursuant to the Towns Zoning Ordinance (the Ordinance). Notice of a public hearing on the matter before respondent Board of Adjustment for the Town of Hillsborough (the Board) was sent to nearby property owners. In response, Kentallen, Inc. (Kentallen), owner of the property adjoining the Carroll property, sent a letter to the Board stating in part that allowing the nonconforming use would substantially increase "the negative impact" on its property. The letter was signed by Neal Littman (Littman). Littman also appeared at the public hearing on 10 April 1991, and testified that the view of the nonconforming building from the Kentallen property "would not be visually attractive." The Board issued a special exception permit on 11 April 1991, allowing the nonconforming use requested by the Carrolls.
