Code, and
WHEREAS, The owner stated that the accessory structure will be used for personal storage of
items such as atvs, boats, etc., and
WHEREAS, The structure is proposed to be constructed with steel walls and a steel roof and said

be bronze, and the trim will be prairie wheat, and
WHEREAS, The accessory structure will have 1-foot to 2-foot overhangs, and

WHEREAS, The structure is located over 90’ from the nearest public street and the location of the
building is being located in a fairly dense wooded area, and
WHEREAS, There are wetlands on the lot that are pending a new delineation to ensure that the

the colors of the house.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the accessory structure cannot be used for any business
storage or business operations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The wetlands on this property need to be delineated and surveyed
before any permit can be issued to ensure that the building and any associated driveways/parking
areas do not encroach within the wetlands or within 15 feet of them.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission approves of the accessory structure
due to no undue harm to the surrounding properties, the building is located over 90’ from the
nearest public street, and the location of the building is being located in a fairly dense wooded
area.
