The Applicants had purchased the property last year and had a conditional use permit <br /> for a guest house approved by the Council. The property owners since that time have decided <br /> not to construct the guest house and build a new residence instead, with removal of the existing <br /> residence following issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the new house. <br /> Weinberger stated the existing accessory building is 12' by 32',which is located a few feet off <br /> the north property line. The Applicant is proposing to remove the existing building, construct <br /> a new accessory building located 50 feet from the front property line and a minimum of 30 feet <br /> to the side property line. The size of the new building would be 14' by 22',which is 380 square <br /> feet and is a reduction of 76 square feet from the existing building. The building would be <br /> constructed with a gabled or barn style roof to it and be one-story in height. <br /> Weinberger stated the reason for locating the building in front of the principal structure has to <br /> do with the way the property has historically functioned. Weinberger noted there is a shared <br /> driveway along the property line and services the back lot. The existing driveway would end <br /> at the garage to the new residence. The purpose of the shed is for storage. Location of the <br /> shed behind the principal residence is not possible due to some low land and trees in that area. <br /> Weinberger noted the building would meet the required setbacks. <br /> Haus stated he is in agreement with Staff's comments. <br /> PAGE 11 <br />
