second parcel of land. Both parcels combined would equal two and a quarter acres of land, <br />which is shaped like the letter "P". The shed will be 20' x 20' and equals 400 square feet and <br />will have a 10-foot covered patio off the back. Code permits only 200 sq ft maximum on <br />storage sheds and they wish to have 400 sq ft. A variance for building on the lot without a <br />main use is required. The parcel is landlocked and does not front on any street. They would <br />like to be allowed to build the shed on their vacant parcel without combining the two parcels. <br />They would like the height of the shed to be 15-feet instead of 12-feet high. Mr. Gareau <br />showed the board members photos of his land were the shed would be placed. Mr. Kremzar <br />questioned if the existing shed would be removed. Mr. Jocke questioned if the new shed <br />would be placed behind his home were the existing shed is located. Mr. Gareau indicated that <br />the shed would be on his property about were the existing shed is now. Mr. Jocke questioned <br />the height of the existing shed. Mr. Gareau was not sure how high the existing shed was but it <br />would be removed. Mrs. Walker-Joeke voiced that she felt the new shed would block their <br />view of the metro park. Mr. Kremzar questioned if the applicant would be willing to move <br />the shed. Mr. Gareau voiced he was not sure were the neighbors would like the shed moved. <br />Mrs. Gareau inquired if the 7ocke's lived in the home or if it was strictly rental property. Mr. <br />Jocke indicated that the reason they own the home and it is rented out is his parents want to <br />live in the home as it is a single-story home. His property value would be affected by blocking <br />the view of the metro park. Mr. Gareau felt that the neighbors existing hedge-row would <br />screen most of the shed. Mr. Jocke indicated he would not have a problem with the shed if it <br />was placed in the applicants line of site to the metro park. Mrs. Walker-Jocke suggested that <br />looking out their window it would be on their property that we have and directly in their line of <br />site. Mr. Maloney questioned if the applicants would be willing to move the shed some. Mr. <br />Gareau indicated that he would move the shed behind the hedge-row to help block the shed <br />and would also be willing to plant trees between the hedge-row and the portion of shed that <br />would be seen. 1Vr. Jocke voiced that he would like the shed directly behind the applicant's <br />house. The 15-foot height is a problem and it would help to know were it will be placed. Mr. <br />Kremzar indicated it was up to the applicants as it is not an issue before this board. Mr. <br />Rymarczyk indicated that as long as the shed is 5-feet off the sideyard line it is not an issue. <br />Mr. Maloney voiced that the board would recommend that the existing shed be removed and <br />the shed be placed behind the hedge-row. Mr. Gareau suggested that he would not touch the <br />hedge-row as he is not sure who they belong to. He has seen the neighbors working on the <br />hedge-row so assumed it is on their land. There was confusion as to the code requiring 5-foot <br />in from sideyard and 10-foot from rear yard line. Mrs. Walker-Jocke thought the applicants <br />were required to be 10-feet back from the rear property line of the 6021 Barton Road parcel. <br />After a bit of confusion as to which rear property line is to be used the clerk clarified that code <br />requires a shed to be placed 10-feet offthe rear yard line and 5-feet off the sideyard line of the <br />parcel in which the shed is to be placed. Mrs. Walker-Jocke questioned if code required the <br />shed to be 5-feet or more off the front property line. Mr. Rymlrczyk reviewed that there is <br />no front yard setback as the parcel does not abut a public right of way. A lengthy and <br />confusing discussion took place as to how far off the front property line of the parcel in <br />question the shed could be placed. It was concluded that the shed could be placed on the front <br />property line of the parcel in question if the applicants wanted. <br />M. Maloney motion to grant 12odgers/Gareau of 6021 Barton Road their request for <br />variance (1123.12) as amended. Whach consists of a storage shed and that the following <br />variances are granted; <br />1. A variance for erecting a shed prdor to construction of a dwelling (lots are not <br />combined).
