Owner of 1204 Bridal Drive given time to revise shed plan; advertising fee waived

The board tabled a request from the owners of 1204 Bridal Drive seeking a reduced side and rear setback to construct a permanent storage shed, giving the applicants time to consult with their builder and potential alternative placements that would avoid a variance.

The owner said the shed was needed because the garage ceiling is failing and they needed space: "I would like to build a storage building... our garage is packed and the ceiling is coming apart" (Speaker 17). Commissioners suggested moving the structure into a location that would not require a variance and recommended the applicant speak with their builder before choosing. To provide flexibility the board voted to table the application and agreed to waive the readvertising fee for a return hearing so the owner could explore options rather than be forced to wait a year after a denial.
