STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT

1) The structure will not be visible from the front of the house, and is set back far from Second Street so as not to be readily visible from the side street.

2) The structure is understated and utilitarian in nature as is appropriate for the rural setting of the community. Its design and attachment to the rear ell will not detract from the architectural details of the main house.

3) The wood material including wood siding (on the south side) and v-grooved metal roof is appropriate for the setting of the district and the house.

4) Removal of the structure in the future will not damage historic materials of the house since it is freestanding.
