Rowan, is seeking to build. an accessory building for storage and <br />p.otentiallyhorses.in the future..His plans call for a.2707' structure to be located near <br />an existing accessory structure (guest house). The new. accessory structure will be <br />approximately999 square feet, with a proposed height of approximately 201 from grade <br />to the high point of the roof line. <br />Under Gem Lake ordinance Number 131— the Consolidated Land Use Ordinance, <br />Hillary Farm is currently located in the Executive.
