Bottenberg stated the Applicants have requested an after - the -fact variance to permit a 12' by 24' storage shed to remain on this property located on Big Island. The shed is currently located 23 feet from a platted, dedicated right -of -way where 30 feet is required. The Planning Commission voted 3 to 3 on a motion to recommend denial of the variance*to permit the storage shed to remain on the property. It was the opinion of the Planning Commission members favoring denial that permitting the storage shed to remain would set a negative precedent. The Planning Commission members would not have voted for the plan as is, but would favor the "size of the shed be decreased or moved to meet the required setback. It was the opinion of the Planning Commission members favoring variance approval that permitting the storage shed to remain was acceptable because only a small portion of the storage shed was in the setback. The platted, dedicated right -of -way is not and is not intended to be developed street within Big Island and because the building is in the most appropriate location on the lot because of the topography.
