Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Tuesday, January 18, 2022 Page 9 Ms. Calta replied, you would schedule a brief hearing if you feel that there is any additional information that you would like to see or if you need a legal opinion or something like that. That's why we recommend having a hearing. If I can very quickly, fortunately or unfortunately I have worked with this Code section before. I think it's always been interpreted not limited to structures. It's looked at by the square footage. You could meet the square footage and you have five structures. It's not limited to one structure. It's all of the structures. I do agree that the terminology could be improved since 1994. Mr. Meyers asked, was there ever a permit issued for this building? Mr. Boyle replied, as we said, we weren't aware that it was required. We came to the Building Commissioner to ask what was necessary. His recommendation was to take it to Board of Zoning Appeals. Mrs. Boyle replied, I bought this for his anniversary gift. I did not know it was required. The neighbors told me that if it was movable, it wouldn't be needed. We found out and looked into it after we got our water problems fixed. That's when we found out. Mr. Boyle stated, we brought it to the Village. Mrs. Boyle stated, we were trying to make things right. Council President Schutt stated, thank you. Are there any other comments or questions? Mr. Williams asked, why did you bring it to the Village? Mrs. Boyle replied, because we needed to know if we needed a permit. I don't think it's right not to. When we did our driveway or had the water issues, we needed permits to get all that stuff done. The Building Department answered our questions to make sure it is done correctly. I would rather do it correctly when it comes to a lot of different things. Mr. Williams asked, but you put it up without asking? Mrs. Boyle replied, it was fabricated. Mr. Boyle stated, right, this was shipped to us. Mrs. Boyle stated, right. It was fabricated. It was brought in. I was happy when I bought it because we have a place for his paintings. We moved here from a four-story house. We downsized. My husband had a heart attack. I am not doing as good as I am able to with steps. We needed to downsize. I have lived in Mayfield Village on Lander. My parents lived there. We moved back down to the same street. I love Mayfield Village. Another thing is the sidewalks. You did them. Usually you can't get down the street. It's amazing. I love the Village. I grew up
