She indicated the proposed shed will be hidden somewhat by the large pine tree adding <br />that aesthetics was their main concern and they want the shed to look smaller rather than larger. <br />Mayor Faust stated that the City Council's concern is aesthetics given the uniqueness of the lot <br />and to make sure the shed is pleasing to the eye and enhances the property. <br />Motion by Councilmember Roth , seconded by Cotmcilmember Gray , to approve Resolution 12- <br />079 ; Approving a Variance to Allow an Acces sory Structure in the Front Yard for the Property <br />Located at 2653 Stinson Boulevard. <br />Councilmember Stille stated he appreciated that the property owners intend to tie in the shed and <br />garage with the use of cedar shakes and did not think the proposed shed would impact the <br />community or be too close to the neighbors. He urged the property owners to do what they could <br />to keep the shed hidden as much as possible, adding that this is not a perfect variance . <br />Councilmember Jen son asked if this variance would put the City at risk of setting a precedent for <br />allowing buildings in the front yard. <br />City Manager Casey stated that from a land use perspective, no precedent would be set because <br />each variance request is looked at individually and in this case, the circumstances are unique to <br />the property. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />31 VI.
