The following variance is requested: 1. A 340 sq. ft. variance for the maximum size of an accessory storage building; code permits 300 sq. ft., applicant shows 640 sq. ft., Section 1135.02(d)(1). Note: Property is 58,300 square feet. Ms. Wenger stated that the zoning is One Family Residence B. The applicant was previously denied a variance for an 880 square foot accessory structure (a variance of 580 square feet). The proposed barn building is now 640 square feet. The reduction in total square footage is 27%. An existing detached garage on the site will remain. An existing aluminum shed on the site will be removed. Mr. Musat stated that the placement of the proposed building would be more than 200 feet from the front of the property and 400 feet from the back property line. He described the small amount of storage available in his home and the need for the loft storage area in the proposed building. He added that the extra storage in the building would increase the value of the property since the house has limited amounts of storage. The lower level would be used to store lawn maintenance equipment and a wood shop. He pointed out that the building would be less than 1% of his entire property and total lot coverage would be 3.3% including the house and garage. Mr. Noeth pointed out that sample wood shop layouts were submitted, which showed the need for so much room. The overhang from the previous submittal was removed. Mr. Allain clarified that the building would not be used for commercial purposes. Mr. Musat said he already owns many of the workshop equipment that is currently stored in the shed. Mr. Allain pointed out the large reduction of size, did not think it would look too large in relation to the abutting properties, and believed he proved the need for storage. Mr. Raig pointed out the close proximity to commercial property. Mr. Allain moved, seconded by Ms. Sabo, to grant as written 16-5423; R.J. Musat; 6180 Barton Road to build a new pole barn with the following variance: 1. A 340 sq. ft. variance for the maximum size of an accessory storage building; code permits 300 sq. ft., applicant shows 640 sq. ft., Section 1135.02(d)(1). Motion passed 5-0. 2
