Al Witte, Miller Architects and Builders, stated that the owner would like to keep the accessory building and suggested that the curb line be kept at six -feet up to the shed and continue it after the shed, instead of having it go around it. They also proposed that the door would be moved. He also provided a sample panel of the proposed exterior. Commissioner Danger asked how old the shed is and what the condition of it is. Witte replied it is old, with aerial photographs from the 1950's showing the shed. The property owner has refurbished the building. He added that the owners would house the equipment for yard maintenance and snow removal. Dave Cannif, Inter -Plant Sales, stated that the shed does have sentimental value, since his Dad started the business. They would move the garage door and plant trees so it is not visible from the road. If it must be destroyed then they would like to at least be able to utilize it for storage purposes during the construction of the new building.
