Definition of a bedroom in Somerville MA

Hi,

I got my appraise report for my multi-family house and he mentioned that we have 4 bedrooms in the house. I went to the zoning department and they told me that my house is a 5 bedrooms. I did check for the right definition in the city ordinance:

"2.2.17. Bedroom. A private room for sleeping, however named, planned, intended or used, which is separated and can be closed off from other parts of the dwelling by walls and a door."

By this definition , I do have another bedroom. This bedroom doesn't have a closet but it had a hugh private balcony.

I didn't get my loan because of this technical issue and I am trying to figure out what to do with that. I can ask for another appraisal but it is almost 1k each time they are coming and I'm not sure if the outcome will be different.
