• They are looking to add and 8 x 8 storage shed;
• This was an existing building that has been rehabilitated;
• When they was completed they found that the amount of storage for this small space
was not sufficient;
• The storage shed will match the colors of the building;
• This will be used to store dry goods such as paper products; and
• There is a privacy fence along the property line.
No phone calls or letters were received in opposition or in favor of this application.
Therefore, the Board made the following Findings of Fact:
1. The variance of the development standards would not be injurious to the public health,
safety, moral and general welfare of the community;
2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance would
not be affected in a substantially adverse manner; and
3. The strict application of the terms of the Ordinance would result in a practical difficulty.
The situation shall not be self-imposed, nor be based on a perceived reduction of or
restriction of economic gain.
Based on the findings described above, the Board approved the development standard
variances as presented on a vote of 3-0.
7. Reports from Officers Committees and Staff
None.
