project, Mr. Allain agreed. Mr. Papotto normally would not like the fence that close to the sidewalk but since there is a short side yard and a variance was granted previously. Mr. Rahm thought the land was unique and the owners have a well thought out plan. Mr. Papotto moved, seconded by Mr. Mackey, to approve the following variance for 20- 17471; Bob & Lisa Everden; 5502 Quail Run: 1. A 16 ft. variance for setback of a fence in the side yard of a corner lot; code requires 20 ft., applicant shows 4 ft., Section 1135.02(D)(3). Motion passed 5-0. 20-17472; William & Kathleen Turvey; 6631 Chadbourne Drive Representative: William Turvey, owner Proposal consists of a shed. Property is zoned A -One family Residence. 1. A 50 sq. ft. variance for maximum storage building size based on lot area; code permits 150 sq. ft., applicant shows 200 sq. ft., 1135.02(C)(2). The applicant proposes to remove an existing shed on the property and replace it with a new 200 square foot shed. Based on the lot size, a 150 square foot shed would be permitted, so a 50 square foot variance is requested. Mr. Turvey wants to install a shed that will match the house. The old shed actually sits on ODOT property and will be torn down. A gate would be installed in the existing fence to access the shed. The garage is needed to store their vehicles because of the recent break-ins, so the sporting and outdoor equipment would need to be stored in the shed. Ms. Lieber said the parcel is a standard size for a residential lot. The only unique characteristic of the property is that it backs up to state property/right-of-way which results in fewer impacted residential neighbors. A letter of support received from Judith Schwind received on September 10, 2020 and an email of opposition received from Cassandra Rumes on September 13, 2020 were read into the record. In response to the Rumes letter, Mr. Turvey said he spoke with the Building Department before installing the fence in the reverse direction to shield their garbage cans. Mr. Papotto asked if the yard floods, Mr. Turvey said a swale runs through the back yard and may take weeks to dry out. The area can be hard to access most of the time so the shed is proposed in a different location. Mr. Mackey thought the request was reasonable and thought the family needs the space, Mr. Allain agreed. Mr. Papotto moved, seconded by Mr. Mackey, to approve the following variance for 20- 17472; William & Kathleen Turvey; 6631 Chadbourne Drive: 1. A 50 sq. ft. variance for maximum storage building size based on lot area; code permits 150 sq. ft., applicant shows 200 sq. ft., 1135.02(C)(2).
