The 15,840 square-foot, well maintained lot is improved with a newer bricic split-level home and attached two-car garage. There is currently one small shed on the property that will be removed to make room for the proposed, larger shed. Numerous mature trees and an 8-foot tall privacy fence shield the back yard of view from adjacent properties. Discussion: Section 1106.4, Subdivision 7lists the specific conditional use permit requirements for accessory storage buildings in excess of 216 square feet. These requirements, such as setbacics and maximum square-footage would be met with this proposal. The setbacics for an accessory structure are five feet; the applicant is proposing to locate the shed in the southwest.corner of the rear yard no closer than five feet to the property line. The area of the proposed shed would be 400 square feet, which is the maximum allowed. The Code requires that by accessory buildings take up no more than 20 percent of a rear yard; this proposal would equate to an 8.9 percent coverage.
