9. That City Code Chapter 105 (Buildings) requires three (3) feet of separation between overhangs of structures without the construction of fire rated walls. 10. That parcels with a size between 1.5 acres and two (2) acre in size are eligible for a total of 2,400 square feet of accessory building space. There is a total of 1,008 square feet of existing accessory structures on the Subject Property. There is an 18 ft x 24 ft (432 square feet) detached accessory structure (the "Structure A ") and a 24 ft x 24 ft (576 square feet) detached accessory structure (the "Structure B ") for a total of 1,008 square feet of existing accessory structure square footage. The Structure is proposed to be 26 ft. x 26 ft. [676 square feet] for a total of 1,684 square feet if the Structure is approved, which is less than the 2,400 square feet allowed by City Code. 11. That it appears that the existing grade changes from an elevation of 886 in the south -east comer to 878 near the center of the Subject Property, for a change in grade of approximately eight (8) feet. 12. That it appears that there exists a small depression in the north -east corner with an elevation dropping from 876 to 872, a change in grade of approximately four (4) feet, which may cause seasonal wet conditions. 13. That the Applicant has stated that a detached accessory structure aligned with the front of the principal structure would have to be built near Structure A, thus not leave ample space between the two buildings to access Structure A, especially with motor vehicles and other equipment. 14. That the Applicant has stated that a detached accessory structure aligned with the front of the principal structure would not add to the aesthetic look of the current buildings on the Subject Property. 15.

That the Applicant has stated that the red pines on the north side of the Subject Property would be extremely difficult to remove if the red pines were to die and that the proposed location of the Structure would allow for easier tree removal without the harming of power lines or buildings. 17. That the Applicant has stated that a detached accessory structure aligned with the principal structure would block a direct line for use of the sand point well in Structure A to a new garden site. 18. That the Applicant has stated that a detached accessory structure aligned with the principal structure would cost more to construct a driveway. RESOLUTION #10 -09 -198 Page 3 of 6
