Summary

The board approved a variance allowing replacement of an existing shed with a larger auxiliary building (proposed 672 sq ft vs code 320 sq ft) and a 4-foot height variance, finding it comparable to neighborhood structures.

The Board of Zoning Appeals granted a request from Tamara Rice to replace an existing shed with a larger auxiliary building and to increase maximum height by four feet.

Rice explained the new structure would sit on a concrete pad to deter animals and expand slightly on the existing footprint. Board members said nearby lots contain comparable outbuildings and that the proposed size and appearance fit the neighborhood context. A motion to approve the auxiliary-building variance (proposed 672 sq ft where code allows 320 sq ft) and the requested 4-foot height variance was seconded and carried unanimously.

The board noted the applicant should follow standard permitting procedures for the structure and coordinate with neighbors if necessary.
