B-4 Valley View, request for the construction of a shed and variance.
The committee reviewed an application for a shed. The proposed shed placement indicates 21 feet
from the front property line requiring a variance of 19 feet from the 40 foot side setback requirement.
The owner of the property, Mr. Lynch, explained that the topography of the lot, wetness of the
property and location of the septic area prevents placing the shed in a location that meets the setback
requirement. Mr. Lynch explained that the location of the shed (behind the existing rubbish bin)
would not be visible from the road or neighbors’ view and would be more than 60 feet from Valley
View Road. After review and discussion the committee approved the shed pending the following:
1) Board approval of the setback variance.
Footnote: At the September 1, 2018 Board of Directors meeting the Board approved the variance
request as recommended by the ACC.
