An applicant (Speaker 5) requested approval to construct a 10‑by‑20 (200 sq ft) accessory structure in the rear yard at 706 Caroline Street. The applicant said the structure has been reduced in size from a previously larger proposal and will have wood exterior siding with a metal roof. Staff (Speaker 6) confirmed that because the structure is 200 square feet it requires a building permit and noted that visible impact from the street is expected to be minimal because the structure will be set 20 feet from the west side and 10 feet from the north side property lines and screened by an existing 6‑foot fence.

Neighbors and commissioners asked whether adjacent property owners had been consulted and whether the structure would have electricity or water; the applicant said no utilities would be added and that nearby neighbors were aware. Commissioners discussed prior concerns seen on similar accessory structures where drainage and sight lines created disputes; staff noted the applicant plans to remove an existing small metal shed and replace it with the new structure.

A motion to approve the accessory structure was moved and seconded. The motion passed by a 2–1 vote. Staff recorded the outcome and said the applicant must obtain the required building permit to proceed.
