Ruce is requesting to build a greenhouse 10 x 25 in the rear of the property attached to the house. Gaffron stated that it does meet all setback requirements and doesn't affect the septic system. There is a deck in the back of the house. The question ai.ses because Mr. Ruce has some commer- cial dealings outside the home. Ruce explained that he is a gardener and works in other peoples gardens. In the spring of the year he grows plants to use in their gardens, which is the purpose of the greenhouse. There is no walk-in traffic. Ruce also stated that the deck would be removed so the greenhouse may be built. This would not include the deck on the east side of the house.
