Mr. Papotto thought the proposal was additional living space, not just a shed. Other buildings have come through for hobby sheds and work spaces, so he thought they were similar. He was concerned about commercial use which the applicant has agreed not to do, Mr. Rahm and Mr. Mackey agreed. Mr. Allain added that the lot abuts Country Club Boulevard and is larger than the typical lot. Mr. Papotto moved, seconded by Mr. Mackey, to approve the following variance for 21- 20135; Contina Young; 5125 Whitethorn Avenue: 1. A variance for a second storage building on a residential lot; code permits one, applicant shows two, Section 1135.02(C)(2).

(400 sq. ft.) attached garage. Proposed detached garage is 30 ft. x 40 ft. (1,200 sq. ft.) Lot size is 1.079 acre (47,000 sq. ft.)
