Mr. Schmetzer the owner came forward to be sworn in and review the request. The applicant would like to place a shed on the back portion of his lot which is quite large and requires a lot of lawn tools to maintain. It will be designed to look like an original barn that was once on the property. The board asked what would be done with the existing sheds. The applicant indicated that one shed is an existing chicken coop used for their goat, and the other can not hold the large gardening equipment. The chairman reviewed the engineer's letter requiring the barn have downspouts and properly drained. The owner stated that he spoke with City Engineer Becker who stated that he could tie the downspouts into the existing culvert that runs the length of the side of his property. Building Commissioner Conway indicated that the land is quite large and if it was based on square footage alone the applicant would be allowed over 4,000 square feet due to the size of the lot. His only concern is that the storage/barn is not used for storing cars or used as a business. The applicant stated that is just for lawn equipment. Mr. Lynn, a Neighbor came forward to be sworn in and address the board. Mr. Lynn felt that Mr. Schmetzer had done nothing but tasteful things to the property since he purchased it and had no objections to his neighbor's request. W.
