The zoning ordinance requires a single story accessory structure that
is more than two percent lot coverage to be built with a masonry
exterior material that matches the exterior of the main building. The
maximum allowed by right would be 560 square feet. The proposed
accessory structure exceeds the two percent requirement by .68
percent. The applicant is requesting a variance for masonry exterior
material.
The height of the structure is fourteen feet and eighteen feet away from
the property to the northeast and thirteen feet from the adjacent rear
property.
The applicant states that the Homeowner's Association has granted
conditional approval of the accessory structure with a condition that
fence improvements are made that would screen the accessory
structure from view from Stone Glen Drive.
Public Comments forms were mailed to seventeen property owners.
Two comment forms were received; one comment in favor and one
comment in opposition of the request.

Chair Jourdan opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Robert Stanley, 1801 Stone Glen Drive, stated that the accessory

stating that the exterior material of the accessory structure should
match house.

the building should meet the ordinance requirements for size and
height.
Chair Jourdan closed the Public Hearing.
