Lot # 668 Greer Court, Existing (3 sided shed) enclosed – Variance Request
The existing shed on the property was originally a three sided shed (not enclosed) which was a requirement as to the location of the shed (not within setback requirements).

Upon notification to the owners that this was now in violation of the setback requirement, the owners asked the committee for a variance to leave the shed in its current location based on family circumstances and safety issues.
After review and discussion the committee made a recommendation that the Chimney Hill Board of Directors approve the request for a variance.
