Summary

The Board approved a special-use permit to allow an accessory shed on the same Townsend parcel, with seven conditions including prohibition on habitation and inspection requirements.

Staff presented SUSE402026 for an accessory structure (shed) on tax parcel 42A1-A-3 and recommended approval with seven conditions, noting no adverse impacts to utilities or the surrounding neighborhood were anticipated. The presentation emphasized the difference between this case and the travel-trailer application: the shed is not for habitation and the property has existing well and septic services.

The owner confirmed the shed is for storage of furniture and personal effects and not intended for habitation. A board member moved to approve SUSE402026 with staff-recommended conditions; the motion was seconded and the board voted to approve the permit.
