Applicant Request

The proposed shed meets the design guidelines as it will be located to the rear of the property, behind the primary structure and oriented towards the alley. The shed will adhere to the City zoning ordinance requirements, as it is located 8' from the interior side property line and approximately 15' from the rear property line. Due to the shed's placement behind the primary house, the shed will not be visible from the public right-of-way. Placement of the shed is appropriate.

The shed is modest in size and uses vertical panels of a textured wood composite siding. Design guidelines note that "vertical siding or more economical methods" are appropriate for outbuildings. The shed could be easily removed without effect on the property.
