Board allows modified shed materials and a buried grid apron in Merkel residential approval to protect goats
Summary
The board amended a prior residential-improvement resolution for Dan Merkel to permit the shed to be built in wood or cementitious clapboard (matching style and color) instead of vinyl, and allowed a buried plastic grid apron up to 2 ft by the garage door for stabilization to avoid creating a visible driveway.
During routine resolution work the board discussed a carried residential application for Mr. Merkel. Counsel and the applicant's representative said the homeowner is concerned goats would damage vinyl siding on a new shed. The applicant requested permission to use wood or cementitious (concrete) clapboard so the shed would visually match the house in color and style but not be vinyl.
Kenneth Stape, speaking for the applicant, also described a buried plastic grid product that can be covered with soil and sod to stabilize the area in front of the garage without creating a visible gravel driveway. The board confirmed the modified language would still require matching style and color, permitted the 2-foot apron by the garage door installed below the surface and voted to adopt the modification by motion/roll call.
The resolution will be modified accordingly and the updated language circulated to board counsel and staff.
