11-14-2001 01'21Pl'1 FROM TO 6514298629 P.01 November 14,2001 TO: City of Centerville I am writing in regards to a notice I received about my non-compliant shed that has existed in its present location for approximately seven years. I understand that the Planning Commission is considering amendments to the current zoning ordinance. [also understand that there are several other sheds in the community that exist closer than six feet to the primary structure. The six foot separation is required by the \luilcling code for fire protection. Upon researching the matter I have discovered that if a fire wall was installed on one side of my shed, my shed could remain in its current location and be in conformance with existing building codes. I would be Willing to make this investment because I have ordered siding for my shed which matches my house. I also have substantial landscaping placed by a previous owner that exists around the shed in its current location. I request an extension of the time period for bringing this shed Into compliance. I further request that the Planning Commission be asked to consider an amendment that would allow sheds to be closer to the primary structure, if the shed is constructed to meet the building and fue code standards. As you may recall, the mixed use district was created to allow buildings to be adjacent to each other as long as the appropriate building codes were met. If the P+Z does not amend the ordinance, I will bring my shed into compliance. I will al$o expect that this requirement will be unifonn and ClIlforced with aU of the non- compliant sheds in the community, because I will incur a substantial cost if I am forced to move mine. Thanks! Jim March iOiAL P.01 L_
