There are times and ways that you can trade off non conforming to make it more conforming. In other words, if you remove say 200 Sq. feet that is non conforming and expand something else by 190 Sq feet it is my understanding that would be allowed, within reason, as they see it as overall better and the result is a building that is more conforming than prior to construction.
For example: I think, if you had a 10 X 15 tool shed within the setback and said you would remove it to add 110 Sq feet to the house they might look favorably on it.
That is my opinion but I think every situation is evaluated based on its merits.
