RE: SUB - 200800189- Hersey 2 -Lot
Dear Mr. Larson:
This letter is to update you of the status of the above - mentioned subdivision and to request your response.
Bill Fritz, John Shepherd and I have reviewed the plat and talked about the issues at hand. We agree that
the main issue with this proposal is whether the barn meets the definition of an accessory structure and
whether the proposed subdivision could be permitted with the barn structure located where it is.
After discussing with John (on behalf of the Zoning Administrator), it has been determined that the barn
does not meet the definition of an accessory structure to a primary use, building, or structure on the
proposed parcel. Therefore, the barn is a primary structure that must meet the setbacks set forth in section
10.4. The plat cannot be approved because it would create a structure that violates the setbacks.
Please advise us as to whether you wish to make revisions to your submittal or you want us to take formal
action to deny this application.
Please contact John Shepherd at 296 -5832 x3023 if you have questions or would like more information
regarding the determination that the barn would be a primary structure. For all other questions related to
subdivisions and the processing of this application, please contact me at 296 -5832 x 3432.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth M. Marotta
Senior Planner
