Construct front-gabled frame 8'x16' accessory structure with board and batten and wood composite cladding located in east corner of rear yard. The roof will have at least a 7/12 to 8/12 pitch. Treated 4x4 runners on ground. Walls and trusses all 2x4 constructed 24" oc. Roof is covered with asphalt shingles. Siding is composite board and batten. All exterior trim is treated 2x4. Service door at front gable is constructed of same materials. No windows.
One-and-a-half-story frame with weatherboard wallcovering. Front gable roof with knee braces, rafters, and asphalt shingles. One-story full front porch with rusticated stone columns.

2) The shed will be visible from the frontage street, Washington Avenue, as well as the side street, Monroe Avenue.
3) The front gable and entry of the shed will face the side street. The KGIS site map included with this application indicates at least 4 other sheds on corner lots facing the side street, so this configuration is not an uncommon placement of sheds in the neighborhood context.
