Church Street shed proposal: commission asks for survey and dedicated access

At the meeting Jay Barlef presented a sketch for a proposed shed on his Church Street property and explained that current site drawings showed access through adjacent school property. Commissioners warned that using another party's parking lot or public property for a building entrance would be problematic and told Barlef he would need his own dedicated access from a roadway or a formal easement.

"You would have to have your own access into your shed," the Chair said when discussing use of the school's pavement. Commissioners advised Barlef to obtain a survey with lot pins so staff can verify property lines and determine whether the proposed entrance is feasible; if the survey shows adequate room the commission can consider forwarding a recommendation to city council.
