Associate Heller <br />replied that they did plan to keep the shed, and that the total square footage for accessory <br />buildings will be under the allowed 1,800 square feet. <br />Councilmember Flaherty asked if the addition will be sided the same color as the house, and <br />Associate Heller replied that yes it will. Councilmember Flaherty pointed out that there is a <br />foundation behind the garage. Associate Heller stated it is for the RV and will be replaced by the <br />garage. <br />Councilmember Flaherty asked if the oversize garage would be used to get rid of the clutter and <br />Associate Heller replied that there was nothing specific in the plan. <br />MOTION/SECOND: GUNN/FLAHERTY.
