Applicant Request

1. The shed is proposed to be placed behind the primary residence, set 5' from the right interior property line and approximately 23' from the rear property line. Placement of the shed will meet the base zoning code and the design guidelines. Due to the location of the shed, it will be minimally visible from the public right-of-way, if visible at all.

2. The shed is modest in scale and height. The additional half-story and gambrel roof are unique for the context, but not prohibited in the design guidelines. Guidelines note that outbuildings can be constructed of "vertical siding and other more economical materials." The shed's design and materials do not detract from the primary structure.
