She said, 'After further <br />considerationr Staff concluded that, given the possibility for <br />the deck to be altered, and no longer connectt*d to the <br />greenhouse, the greenhouse would be c«>nsidered an arcessory <br />structure, which wou.'.d located in front of the principal <br />structure. Though that would not pose any significant problem, a <br />Variance %#ould be required. staff believed it made more sense to <br />address the aspect of an accessory structure at this time." <br />Gaffron added that the greenhouse and principal structure <br />will have separate foundations, and that is another factor which <br />led Staff to consider the greenhouse as an accessory structure. <br />Kelley referred to the hardships noted by the applicant for <br />the eight foot side setback, and asked Mrs. Ferril if she wished <br />to elaborate on the location of the Hickory tree in relation to <br />the proposed structure. <br />Mrs. Ferril stated that the Hickory tree will benefit the <br />greenhouse as it will shade it in the summer, and allow sunlight <br />through in the winter when its leaves are gone. She added that <br />leaves on Hickory trees do not come out until late spring, which <br />will also benefit the greehouse plants. <br />There were no public comments regarding this application, <br />and Kelley closed the Public Hearing at 7;20 p.m. <br />Rowlette agreed with the Ferrils' hardship pertaining to the <br />need to locate the greenhouse on the north side of the house. <br />She said that if the greenhouse is to be locatad on the north <br />side on the property to meet the required setbacks, the only <br />options would be to reduce the size of the structure, or remove <br />the deck. She asked Mrs. Ferril what purpose the deck will <br />serve. <br />Mrs. Ferril explained that the deck will provide a means of <br />reaching the windows of the greenhouse when cleaning is needed. <br />- 6 -
