OLD
BUSINESS
ZBA case number
19-02: Lance Pettis
Mr. Pettis
would like to put a pole barn in the front yard of his property.
Previous barn was burnt in 1995.
Lot is 3.1 acre size with a 186 foot of frontage on D-19.
The proposed structure is 38 foot by 88 foot with a
12 foot entrance
to allow access for his large boat to be stored.
The total height of the barn is 18 foot.
Per letter from Mr. Ambrose, dated October 14, 2002, he has determined this
is not a flag lot but rather an irregular
shaped lot.
Mr. Pettis will shorten the length to 70 foot but would like the width at 38
foot because he has already
purchased building material to accommodate this
size.
CALL
TO PUBLIC
None
