(Owner of record: Susan Masci). (Continued from December 11, 2019 hearings, opened but not heard). Mr. Masci represented himself for the Variance relief for his shed. He read a letter dated November 10, 2019 from the builder of his home. His builder recommended a specific .location for the 16' x 26' shed because of the topography of the lot, and that the property boarders two roads. Mr. Masci also read letters of approval from his abutters. Mr. Masci said that the shed will be set on an angle, and only a corner of the shed will be within the 15 ft. setback but will still be 5 ft. from the property line. It's a heavily wooded area and he wants to keep the landscaping the same. Chairman Furbush asked what the footings will be for the shed. Charlie said that he will require a building permit. Jonathan didn't realize that sheds larger than 120 sq. ft. require a 15 ft. setback from the property line. Smaller sheds require to be setback 5 ft.

Mr. Bonvie thought that the request would possibly only require determination approval by Conservation if it were placed in an area that would not require a Variance.
