The proposal is for construction <br />of a 42'x96* oversized accessory structure on a 3.97 acre parcel. A variance is required <br />as the size exceeds the maximum allowed for an individud accessory structure and the <br />maximum for all accessory structures allowed on the lot. The hdght of the structure will <br />also exceed the hdght of the 16' principal structure requiring a variance. The Planning <br />Commission unanimously recommended denial of the application.
