The 127,968.3 s.f. property, consisting of <br />• 3.97 acres total and .6 acres wetland, is located in the LR -1C, 1/2 acre Zoning District. The proposal <br />is to construct a 42'x96' storage structure, which is in excess of the maximum for an oversized <br />accessory structure. The structure is proposed at a location 23' from the property line and 26.2' from <br />the wetland. The structure is proposed at a height of 23' with 16' side walls. The principal residence <br />is approximately 16' in height. With the size of the lot, the property is limited to an accessory <br />structure of 1,421.4 s.f. <br />James Slechta said his intention is to move to his parents property to provide them assistance and <br />requires the space to store his possessions. He has a building of similar size now at a different <br />location. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Schroeder was informed by Slechta that the building would be used to store his 35' boat, requiring <br />the height of the building, his vehicles and other equipment. <br />Lindquist informed Slechta that the building size was too large. He noted there were already four <br />outbuildings on the property now in addition to the residence. A variance from both the street and <br />side setbacks are also required. He asked what structure Slechta could obtain with meeting the <br />setbacks. Slechta said he could adjust the location but cannot reduce the size to 1400 s.f. Slechta <br />informed Schroeder that he did not intend to work in the building. <br />• <br />24 <br />
