requirements. Mr. Lee quoted Section 4.05(g) and discussed the
appellant's request. Chairman Fohr asked Mr. & Mrs. Stolze to
explain their hardship. They presently don't have a garage and
wish to use this storage shed for tools. He has an existing
driveway nearby. This shed will be approximately 20' from the
existing house. Mr. O'Neil asked why they built the shed with a
12' height? Mr. Stolze responded for storage. They have a
swimming pool on the lot already. Mr. Pionek asked if this shed
is on a slab? Mr. Stolze replied no. Mrs. Stolze asked if she
could present a petition from neighbors voicing support for this
shed? Chairman Fohr responded that she should give it to the
secretary for the record. The petition stated that they have no
objections to the location and height of the storage structure on
this property. A member asked Mr. Lee if this 12' height is
becoming a common request for these storage sheds? Mr. Lee
responded that it was because of the attractive designs for sheds
on the market. His department had checked shed heights and put
the 8' height in the ordinance. Also, a question was raised as
to whether the ordinance requires a slab? Mr. Lee said no,only
treated materials right on the ground. Mr. Stolze stated he had
treated 4 x 4's and blocks to level it. Mr. Berken questioned if
he intended to build a garage later? Mr. Stolze said he would.
Chairman Fohr commented that they have a screening fence on Gold
Drive already and this shed is barely visible from the street.
Mr. Stolze asked Mr. Lee what constitutes an attached garage?
Mr. Lee responded it would be attached by the roof, have 4' frost
footings, etc.
