1Opinion of the CourtSilver, J.
[¶ 1] Patricia and Richard Ashton appeal from a judgment entered in the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Crowley, J.) vacating a decision of the City of Portland Zoning Board of Appeals (Board) that upheld the issuance of a building permit to the Ashtons. The Ashtons contend that the Board correctly interpreted the provisions of the Portland Code of Ordinances (Code), and correctly applied the requirements of Portland, Me., Code § 14-436(b) (Aug. 18, 1997) to the Ashtons’ permit application. We agree, and vacate the judgment of the Superior Court.
