permitted steel accessory structure (252 square feet) on the property located at W182 S6521 Garnet
Drive (Tax Key No. 2174.185), and
WHEREAS, The property is zoned RL-3 Existing Lakeshore Residence District, and whereas said
structure is a permitted accessory use and subject to Plan Commission review due to more than one
accessory structure existing on the lot and due to materials of the structure (steel) and the roof color
that does not match the house, and
WHEREAS, One two-story accessory structure totaling 1,234 square feet, a garden shed (un-
permitted) of an unknown size, the newer accessory structure in question totaling 252 square feet, and
a home residence currently reside on the property, and
WHEREAS, The combined total of the two (2) accessory structures is 1,486 square feet (not including
the garden shed, which is going to be removed per the applicant), and

square feet, and said proposal exceeds the allowed accessory maximum by 64 square feet, and
WHEREAS, There are other various Zoning Code items that are not currently met with the addition of
the new accessory structure, and
WHEREAS, The structure is clad with steel walls and a steel roof and said proposal does not meet the
Plan Commission’s standards for administrative approval of residential accessory structures as the
siding and roofing does not match the materials used on the primary residence and the colors of the
roofs do not match, and
WHEREAS, The accessory structure contains tan steel vertical siding, dark brown steel trim, and a tan
steel roof and the principal house currently is clad with tan horizontal siding (non-steel) and a dark
brown shingled roof.
