o Seek an encroachment agreement to place the shed in either the side yard or rear yard easements. This <br /> agreement would reserve the city the right to have you move the structure if the needs of maintaining <br /> drainage or utilities in the easement were interfered with. With this option, you would still need to <br /> meet setbacks, but could place the structure in the easement. <br /> Finally, we do see that your circumstance might be one that would make sense to address with a code amendment. The <br /> thought would be to allow a shed to be in the side yard as long as it behind a fence. However, that's not what the code <br /> says now and sovvehave tobeconsistent. So, another option would befor you towait for ustoseek Planning <br /> Commission input on whether or not they would entertain a code amendment, but that would be at least two to three <br /> month process, with no certainty that the outcome would befavorable toyour situation. <br /> Let meknow ifyou have questions onthe various options we've presented.

What | onn running into is with the easements and yard structures there is only one location to put the shed. In <br /> order for the shed to be of any size and use the full yard, would like to place it next to the privacy fence that is set back <br /> about five feet from the book of the house. From talking with Dan the zoning requirements are the shed needs to be in the <br /> backyard sowould not beable toput itnext tothe fence. Normally | would just move itforward five feet, but | can't <br /> because it runs into a mature tree in the yard and it would also run into the easement as well. | tried toput itonthe other <br /> side of the yord, but we have on existing patio and would need to dig up the patio...but also that location would also be on <br /> eyesore for the neighbors osour yards have onopen feel there. <br /> | would sincerely appreciate o zoning variance to place the shed next to the fence and be allowed o five foot set book. We <br /> have o privacy fence and the fence gives the appearance the shed is in the back yard. | can understand the need for it to <br /> be in the backyard because of neighborhoods, but in this case with Main street as our"neighbor' | hope it would be <br /> acceptable. I would also be happy to ensure a privacy fence is maintained as long as the shed is in this location, keeping <br /> the feel the shed is in the backyard. <br /> Our house is close to the City Ho|| if you want to stop out and see the location, but | attached some pictures that might be <br /> helpful to see the request. | think Dan hos the application. <br /> Again, | sincerely appreciate this consideration and hope it is reasonable. Since moving in we need oshed to get <br /> completely settled. <br /> 2 <br />
