(95) Vice-Chairman Carroll presented case #V-19-2-6-1 request of Jeffrey Dailey for a setback variance at 16534 Zausa Drive in order to construct a 10'x12' shed 18" from the existing house. Director McMaster explained that per the ordinance an accessory structure has to be located at least 5' from the house. The shed meets all of the other requirements. Commissioner Stanton is concerned over the safety issue with the shed being too close to the existing house. Someone could get stuck in between the 2 structures. He feels that the shed could be moved to meet the requirements. Director McMaster explained there are other structures on the property that prevent him from meeting the required setbacks. Commissioner Stanton suggested attaching the shed to the garage. Discussion followed on construction costs. Director McMaster asked where the door would be placed. It would be along the driveway side of the property. Commissioner O'Connor asked if the floor is wooden or concrete. It would be concrete. Commissioner Stanton suggested building the shed on the driveway. Director McMaster explained that it would be too close to the fence line. Director McMaster had no problem with the placement of the shed per the variance request. Mr. Dailey offered to place some type of barrier between the house and shed so that no one could get in between them. Vice-Chairman Carroll asked if the size of the shed could be reduced to 10'x10'. This would resolve the problem with the 18”. Director McMaster informed the Commission that Mr. Dailey would still need a variance regardless. Commissioner Stanton asked how the wall can be constructed for the shed if there is only 18” of space to work with. Mr. Dailey explained that the wall can be constructed then put in place it. Vice-Chairman Carroll asked for comments and questions from the audience. There were none.
Vice-Chairman Carroll asked for a motion to close the public hearing on V-19-2-6-1.
