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.
