After‑the‑fact shed allowed under Negative 2; commissioners caution on elevation and storage

The full story
Bill Murphy described an after‑the‑fact 96‑square‑foot storage shed built beneath an elevated house on diamond piers.

Building and coastal staff had no formal objections given the shed is not a finished space and falls below the building permit threshold.
