Senior Planner Anderson provided those calculations, noting about 550 square feet over what would be allowed. He noted that would include the 10 by 10 shed. Commissioner Anderson asked if the Commission were to approve a building of 30 by 40 feet, but the applicant discovered he actually needed a building 30 by 50, would the applicant then need to go through the entire process again. Senior Planner Anderson confirmed that the entire process would begin again including notice for the public hearing. Commissioner Hunt acknowledged that if the property were slightly larger, additional square footage would be allowed, and asked if the number of accessory structures allowed would also increase. Senior Planner Anderson replied that the number of allowed accessory structures would not increase. He stated that the applicant did investigate the option of attaching a building, but the cost was prohibitive because of the frost footings that would be required. He stated that staff worked with the applicant in attempt to avoid how this CUP process could have been avoided. Commissioner Walker commented that adding additional space to an accessory building at a later date would be cost prohibitive and that is why he would advocate for increasing the size of the building to 30 by 50 feet, with elimination of the 10 by 10 shed in return. Commissioner VanScoy stated that the Commission is discussing options that would add cost to the project and asked the applicant for input. He noted that it seems the Commission would support a slightly larger structure but believed the applicant should provide input on whether that would be affordable or something he would be interested in. Mr. Doble replied that he would have to price out that but agreed that it would be nice to store everything in the one accessory building. He stated that he would support that option. Senior Planner Anderson commented that the CUP could be reworded to allow up to a certain square footage which would provide the flexibility for the applicant to increase the size of the building. He asked if the shed would need to be removed if the size of the building were increased and whether the shed could remain if the building is kept at the proposed size. Mr. Doble confirmed that he would like that flexibility. Motion by Commissioner VanScoy, seconded by Commissioner Walker, to close the public hearing.
