Curtis indicated it would either be a zoning permit or a building permit. McMillan asked if it would also require a building permit even if it is in the back yard. Curtis indicated it would still require either a building permit or a zoning permit. If the shed is less than 120 square feet, it would require a zoning permit. Bremer stated if it had been in a conforming location, it would have been allowed. Printup asked how much a zoning permit is. Curtis stated to her knowledge it is $50. Printup asked how much the after-the-fact fee would be. Curtis indicated it would be double that$100. Bremer commented this is a tough situation given the limited view of the shed. Bremer indicated she is familiar with the area and that she did have a question about the shed when she saw the property. Bremer indicated she would be willing to allow the shed in its location since the neighbors are not opposed to it and also given the landscaping in the back if the rest of the City Council feels the same way. Bremer noted the Council has on a couple of occasions allowed a shed in the front yard but that was due to the topography of the yard.
