Violation of Ord. 90-125, Section 1135.02 (d-1). Chairman Gomersall called all interested parties before the board. The oath was adininistered to Mr. Fox, Mr. Smelter, Mr. Campbell, and Mr. Foraker. Mr. Ciomersall clarified the request is for a 384 square foot storage shed to be constructed prior to building the home. He believed it was rather unusual for someone to request a variance for a storage shed before the dwelling is built. Mr. Fox explained that the shed is to be used for storing building materials used in the construction of the dwelling. Mr. Foraker, a neighbor, believed that the lot is not buildable. He thought it was rather odd for a shed to be built prior to the construction of the home. Law Director Gareau explained there are provisions in the zoning code that compensate for buildings that are on lots that are less than "C" zoning. He clarified variances will be required if the front, rear, and side yard setbacks are uot maintained as required by code. Mr. Fox noted the appraisal company was informed by the building department that the lot is slated for a residential dwelling. In response to Nlr. Gomersall's question, Mr. Fox acknowledged, a building permit has not yet been applied for because the plans are in the making. Mr. Koberna clarified this request is to build a storage shed on a vacant lot and has nothing to do with the house. Mr. Purper was concerned about the possibility that after the shed is bualt, Mr. Fox may decide not to build the home. Mr. Fox guaranteed that there will be a house built on this lot next spring. Mr. Smelter, a neighbor, stated a building inspector had informed lum a 60 foot setback is required on Barton Road, and wondered how far this storage shed wou.ld be setback. Mr. Goinersall estimated the setback to be 700 feet. Mr. Smelter believed the storage barn would obstruct lus view 3
