Daryl Koderhandt explained to the Board that he would like a 5-foot wall height, 5-foot roof peak, and 13% lot coverage variance for a shed on his property.
Koderhandt gave the following answers to questions from the Zoning Board: He wants to have a contractor install a neutral color, 40 x 36 foot shed, with electric, in his backyard to store a camper, vehicles, and lawn equipment. His previous camper was totaled by a neighbor’s tree limb falling on the camper. He will have a concrete entrance poured for the shed. There are two small sheds on the back of his property. One of them will be removed and the steel portable shed will be placed closer to the house. The runoff from the shed will go to the ditches to the east and west. He thinks he will have sufficient room to back a camper into the shed. His property is narrow but deep. He may thin out some of the trees in the back of the property. The shed will not interfere with the power lines in the back easement.
Engineer Saeger calculated the lot coverage for the total of 38% lot coverage. He is satisfied with the drainage plan and sees no issues with the distance to the property lines.
Tom Incrocci made a motion which was seconded by Dale Becherer to approve the variances for 5-foot wall height, 5-foot roof peak, and 13% lot coverage for 10 N Smith Street – contingent upon the calculations for lot coverage be entered on the application, and the smaller shed be removed from the property.
