View Agenda Item
 

Case planner Taylor provided a presentation, which is preserved in the file. The applicant, Mr. Donald Simpson spoke during the applicant's statement. He stated he intended to replace an old, dilapidated shed on his property. He would like it be in the same location as the old shed. It will look better and be larger. He also wanted to avoid impacting his existing septic tank.

There was no one present online or in person to speak for or against the request.

Case planner Taylor recommended approval, but with the following condition, "The new storage building shall not be serviced with utilities, e.g., electrical, mechanical, or plumbing." Member Briseno questioned why this was included. Chair Brick stated he did not remember any previous cases where a similar condition was attached. Both members thought lighting was needed for safety. Case planner Taylor explained that the board had the authority to change or remove that condition.

The board voted to approve the variance, with the condition removed.
