The total dry acreage controlled by Mr. Winston is about 23 acres, so he could have as many as 21 horses on the site. This barn does not appear to be large enough for more than perhaps 1/3 that number. The nearest off-site residence is 500' to the east, owned by Mr. Wildman. No comments have been received from him as of this writing. Mr. George Partridge's residence is about 500' north of the barn, and he also has not commented to date. Staff Recommendation: Given that this barn is 500'-plus from any off-site residence structures, and given that the addition will be on the side of the existing strucutres away from the lot line, staff recommends approval subject to applicant submitting a letter of non-objection from the affected neigh boring property owner, Mr. Wildman. -
