Okay, with that the first case the DV-2026-7 applicant is Janet and Rex Beach car added and sorted with sorted law is 716 west he zonies A1 general egg district acreage is 11.41 41 request to allow an increase in maximum height for essentially structure from 20 ft to 26 feet at 6.

Good afternoon. Attorney here on behalf of the property owner Janet Beach who's here to my right. Um can you can you state your address? Her address. Oh yes. Yeah, I was going to uh so Swanlaw PC 337 West 806 North Alparezo Indiana and then Janet's address is 716 West 114 South in Hein 46341. Thank you.

You're welcome. Um so as you identified this is an agricultural zone piece of property. It's just a stone stro southwest of the intersection of two and US 231. Um what we're looking at today is because it's egg, the only variance that's before you would be for the height because she's exempt for the uh size of the building um and the number of buildings that she has there because of being in the egg. Um and I think there was a little bit of confusion I think at first that we had to come in for those other applications. So I had pulled in the accessory structure stuff here just for the record purposes that it's not an R1 requirement. Um, obviously I believe you've been out to the site uh numerous times because there's some other variances that have been had out here related to other um uses and dwellings, but the site plan here I'm going to zoom in um primarily deals with the placement of the building that's being proposed south of the existing 40x 120 foot barn. um currently has horses on site, has numerous fields as indicated in the site plan because they do grow their own hay to maintain their own livestock. Um and so just for purposes of the fact of the request for the height um because I know kind of your position on this is this is seems a bit excessive. The current barn location that they're going to be behind is almost 1300 feet from two and then to the east from 231. Um, as you see here, they're 832 feet. Um the only visibility that we're going to get because this is looking at the intersection southsoutheast. You're not even going to see their property here is when you come north up US 231. You can just see their current barn in this picture way off in the distance with the black square. That's the opening of the back of the building. This proposed structure is going to be behind there.

So it's actually going to be shielded by the trees and the property line. Um and to this we can't even tell how high that building is uh given the numerous farm buildings that are out there. So the visual impact of the request for the height given the distance from all the primary corridors is pretty much non-existent except for this angle. Um this is the view from two looking directly south from the uh property owners north of them. You can see that here with the little guy on Google Street View. Uh this is the u I think this is a co-op for property here where they put all the green equipment. So, even with the building built, you're you're looking through this. You're looking through other property owners in the south, which are residences that are just north of them. You're not even going to see the building. Uh, and then coming eastbound down to towards that same intersection. Um, we can just kind of make their property out behind the tree stand back there. There, the barn that's shown in that picture is not even theirs. It's on the property in front of them. So, you're not even going to be able to see it from two going eastbound towards the intersection. Um, so I just wanted to give some context as you go south towards this property of the numerous buildings that are well in excess of 20 ft for agricultural use that are within in some cases 15 feet of two. Uh, most of them are about 50 to 60 feet. uh we're not even going to have that kind of an impact where we have multiple buildings here like the gentleman that has all the John Deere tractor repairs down there at the Sban route two uh his buildings I think their peak height is almost 30 feet and even from here the visual impact driving up two and these are much closer you know I I don't think it has a detrimental impact to an a zone um so that's the presentation for the request for the height I know there was some

discussion um of how they can still get the height that they need by changing to either scissor trust or doing some kind of design change. Um, financially that kind of change on a building size is quite significant. Um, so we're requesting the the proposed height 26 feet 3 in. But there there is an option worst case scenario without having to go to scissor trusses. The manufacturers come back and confirm they can get it down to 23 feet. Is it 10 inches? Yes.

Yeah. 23 feet and 10 inches, which is better than the 26, but you know, visually from 2 and 231. I can't tell you difference between 3 feet from that distance, especially with how fast I drive down 231. So, thank you. Yeah.

Okay. It's a public a public hearing. Anybody want to speak in favor of this case? In favor? See? None. If I speak against or any questions on this case, say none. I will close the hearing. Okay. Um I differ with you a little bit. If you go down 231 and which I did, okay, you you can see it. Okay. More than up to Okay. But they are off the road quite a bit. And you going to use it for you going to use it for horses or no for storage that the two campers that are there plus the horse trailers plus all the other hay equipment because it sits outside. Okay. So you had fence area in for your horses.

Oh the horses are So that's going to be relocated or because you're going to put it right where the fence area. That's a riding arena back there. Okay. So you know basically we would we have the other pastures to the east. So we'll use those. Well, that was the location that you showed me. Yes. Correct. Where all the where the fencing was. Yes. It's south of the current large uh the horse bar. The horse bar. Yeah. Now, the existing pole barn is 22 feet. Okay. Mhm. And you can live with 23. 23 feet 10 in is what they So, if we make it 24 ft. Yeah. I mean, that would work. That's what he's telling us. Yeah. That's what FBI has told us. That would work. Okay.

I just think 266 it will stand out. You may not think it would, but it would. Okay. Um, you going to use this stuff for personal personal storage? Yes. Okay. All that stuff you saw out there. I see. Yeah. There's a lot of stuff outside. You have to sign commitment. It won't be used for a business or for no a home or Oh, no. No. Okay. So, agree to that. Yeah. Okay. With that, I will approve cases. 82026-7. No, nothing. Okay, you're approved. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

24 ft. The next case is DB-2026-10 advocate Patricia Jel vocal trust number 33 care of Rick Piauch with Crow Ab March uh serving company location 241 appraisal Porter Township zone is A1 general Aorage is 38.59 request to verify the following proposals four lot minor subdivision first variance is minimum lot area 2.08 next is setbacks increase by 50% of the front 10.3485C third existing structure net meet setbacks fourth maximum of Driveways allowed 10.34 AE-2I. Fifth, existing accessory structure now located in the front yard. 5.04F. Six, minimum lot width of 240 ft. 10.3485B. Seven. Lot three does not have access via public road 10.34828. And number eight, the last one, minimum driveway separation of 320 ft. 10.34828 I I Good afternoon. Rich PZA with Cor Avenue 11 East Street in Hover, Indiana. here to talk about the subdivision as presented by you, Mr. Burns.

Can you speak directly to that speaker a little bit? Sure. Thank you.

Uh we're here to get uh the following code variances as you spelled out earlier. Um the existing conditions are all the conditions are all existing and we're not adding any new structures to the to the property. This is just changing of the lot lines uh to meet today's standards. Um this is a a family owned pro property. Um everybody on the parcel is is related to one another. uh and they want to separate the original house from the large parcel and make it its own lot. Um as stated in the uh minutes it's or the stated on the on the uh agenda it says four lot minor subdivision. This will be a three lot minor subdivision. The the fourth lot will be a residual. It will not be its own lot. It's not part of the subdivision. That's it.

That's it.

If I if I could add Mike Jabbo and full disclosure, I have not been involved in the review of this representing family interests. Um, the parcels obtained by my parents in the 1960s. That was actually a division uh or not a division but they they they obtained it in the 1960s starting in the early 80s as my siblings became older and started raising their families. My parents allowed them to subdivide three lots under the parcel. So that started in the 80s. uh the rules were different back then in the 80s and uh as my uh family gets older and all that there was a lot of things that need to be corrected as far as property lines etc. Uh back then buildings were built closer than they should be to the property lines hence the setbacks were located in the front which wasn't a rule back then. So we're here simply today to straighten all those out so that we can move to a minor subdivision after approval.

So basically you're trying to make it legal not for me. Correct. Okay. They're not any right. Okay. That's it. That's it. Okay. Is that case a public hearing? Anybody want to speak in favor in this case? Seeing none. Anybody want to speak against or have any questions on this case? say none close public hearing. So been the family since 198. I think they bought it in either 66 or 67. Is that right? It's been a while. Yeah. I don't have any problems. I'm just trying, like I said, make it legal and not conforming. So, okay. With that, uh, we'll approve case DP-2026-1.

Okay. You're approved. Thank you very much. You're welcome.

Thank you. This case is DV-2 DV, excuse me, DV-2026-11. Applicant uh Jeffrey Buchko location 81 Palomino Lazo in Morgan Township. Zon is R1. Vest single family residential history. acreage is 0.93. Request to allow offer reduction and assign yard setback from 10 ft to 5 ft for proposed 30x 22 ft accessory structure. Good afternoon. I'm Doug Reic with DVG. Our address is 1155 Trump Road in Crown Point. Uh this is Jeff Bushko, the property owner. uh we are representing him and we are the ones who prepared the site plan just with this house for several years. He has been doing some backyard improvements which look very nice. Has a desire to do additional improvements uh swimming pool and now this is an accessory building. He has only he only has a two-car garage. He has desire for got kids that are grown and driving soon. Um, additional garage space is always nice, especially with pool. Um, so it's all about this accessory building and we've been playing with different options as how big of a building we can get. Um, ideally, um, we have it drawn as 22 by 30. Uh, but there's constraints on this site. We have existing utilities uh, near the corner of this house. We have an existing septic tank, an existing septic field, which make it a little challenging to get this building in there and get viable access to the garage door. Uh the way his driveway ends, um we have a

desire for a a 16T overhead door, a very typical overhead door. Um uh and we really can't do that if we can't push that building a little bit closer to the property line. So the minimum sideyard setback per ordinance is 10 ft. Uh we're asking for a five foot setback or actually it'll be a little bit more than that. We'll be five and a half if it gets approved. Uh but it's all about just trying to fit the constraints as it is. We got to move the septic tank to make this work. There's other utilities that are in the area and the proximity. Um, so it's just a tricky site uh because there's just limited space even though it's a big lot. Uh, had they put the septic field in a different spot, we would have more flexibility. Uh, but that's kind of locked in as to where it is. So, it's simply uh asking for a reduction of the sideyard setback. That's it. Case public hearing. Anybody want to speak in favor of this case? Seeing none, anybody want to speak against? Yes, sir. I did uh receive a letter also. Sir, come up and hear the speaker.

You are Ben Story. Yes, sir. Okay. State your name and address.

Well, Okay. Well, that's all right. What's your concern about it?

Okay. You're the neighbor connection. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Receive you receive a letter from your wife, I take. Okay. So, we've included in the records and pretty much staying the same thing. I'm not read the whole letter, but pretty much too close to the property line, change your character, the neighborhood, so on so on. Okay. Anything else? Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

Anybody else have any concerns, questions? Turn back to you. You want to respond to his concern. We understand his concern. We feel there's adequate green space back there. Visually, you're not going to be able notice that it's only 5T from the property line. He's got a fence, I think, that surrounds part of his pool, uh, which is 8 feet from the property line. So, in between the building and that with that fence, which looks like to be the property line, we're going to have 13 feet, which is more than, you know, 10 foot minimum. So, visually, you're not going to be able to see much difference. I don't I don't believe um but that's why we're here to talk about

it. Additionally, we did submit the plans to Grand Prairie HOA and they were supportive of it. Okay. All right. Any other new concerns? Ben as far as HOA.

Okay. That's strong to help out. Okay. I appreciate. Thank you. Okay. I'm going close the public hearing. I do have the same concerns. Your neighbor. I mean, you have almost an acre property and you can put that anywhere on that property in the back and people do that. You don't have to put it right there. And I I agree. I think it changes the the neighborhood. I drove around and seen any that close to property like you know so I I think it will change your charact character neighborhood is open concept neighborhood I remember when that was developed and I cannot I cannot put this you got pl you got plenty of other areas you can pick may not be off your driveway but you could put a shed or what you want to call it pole barn whatever but you got the back of your property. You got the other side of the property. I don't see I don't see a hardship. I'm sorry.

With that of the denying case DV-2026-13. Sorry. Next case is DV-206-13. Is Kyro Melissa Bus?

Oh, he was close. Okay. Location 445 East State Road 8 couch Indiana Township zone is A1 general egg district acreage is 3.11 request to allow a proposed 40 by 80 foot structure to vary from the following codes first it's allowed increase in maximum floor area allowed is 2709 you're requesting 3200 square ft second you're requesting to allow increases maximum height from 20 ft to 22 feet 8 in. Okay, sir. Your state your name and address.

Kyle Bodis 445 State Road 8 Counts, Indiana 46347. Uh here to represent myself. Um so the plan is to construct a 40 by 80 pole barn for personal use for storage purposes. Um, the reason that I'm asking for the height is to uh be able to install 14 foot doors on the on the building to accommodate an RV. Um, there's plans in the future to to we we currently have a family travel trailer and we are looking to upgrade to a fifth wheel. So, this is more of a future planning um operation that trying to keep that in mind because uh once it's built, I can't go any higher, right? So, um, that's the reason for the height, but to have then 16 ft walls and then that with a 412 pitch would put me at like 22 feet and 8 in. So, that is the request for the height is the accommodation in RV. So, um, and then for the size, um, very similarly, currently I have a two-car garage. Our vehicles are parked outside. Um, I have a tractor and a riding lawn mower that are being stored inside as well as motorcycle. Um, obviously trying to protect those those pieces of equipment that are more sensitive to the outdoors, which means that our vehicles are are outside. Um, we also have a family boat that is currently at my parents house. It's al also outside that I like to store. So the reason for the increase in size is to be able to accommodate all those things along with tools and other various uh things that that we have you know in our personal lives. So um that is the request and also u tractor implements and things like that. I have a 20 foot trailer as well that's outside. So trying to tidy up and organize the property and have those all under one roof to protect our

investments. 3 point 3.11 I believe. So 2,700 would be maximum as it currently stands. Okay. Public hearing. Anybody want to speak in favor in this case? Seeing none, anybody want to speak against or any questions or concerns? Seeing none, I'm going to close it. So very large. It's 500 square feet over 491. Yes, sir. I don't have much issue with the height. Okay. location there, but there is not a large pull mark like that in the area. Correct.

You're you're have to reduce it or ambit. That's that's off. That's that's the size of pull. I'm sorry. It's a large pole bar. That's the size of the pull bar that I grew up with that my father and I built. And that's just why I I went with it because I'm used to the size. So um to reduce it I worked with you on the height but not sure not that size of polear it it's going to stand out. I drove up and down route eight in your neighborhood there and sure none that large at all. Y I understand.

Um so 40 by 64 would put me under the square footage that would be allowed. Would that be more uh appropriate for what you're looking for? What size would be 40 by 64? because I'm trying to keep the dimensions to have 4 foot on center trusses. See, they have scissor trusses, too, right? So, you know, you know, it's a more expensive, but yeah, not hardship, but you still get to to space. They going to put you motor home in the center. I plan on putting in the back corner. Yes. Okay. So, you're you will be under that. Chrissy said 2560. Yeah. Okay.

Still need a height. I would still need a height for the Yes. for the RV. Okay. Do you want to check first? Can you still get get the height the the door with that sides? Did you check? Um you need 14 foot. Yes, sir. And I plan on putting two doors on the front so that um I can maneuver equipment. Yeah. No, the scissor trust won't work for I don't think so. All right. What if he could live with it? Well, so he won't need a variance now. Okay. For the sides, you would need a variance for the height. Yes, sir. Okay. And what I'm going to say is a maximum number of 22 by eight. Okay.

Is a max. You might be able to tighten that up a little bit to 22. I know that you know what that case before you, I was just down there and they have 14 foot doors and they have a 22 foot. Okay. So, okay. can live with that or I I I can I can live with that. that those were the dimensions when I calculated like I came up with 22 foot and eight but there's but they only have one they have one large 14 foot door right the second right okay you w how wide a door 40 foot would be the would be the width okay

okay so Christie I have to read this then I deny the first one the first Okay. So, so case DB-20226-13, you got denial on the first uh request of variance to allow increase in master floor area. I'm going to deny that and you agree to to build a polar 2560 square ft. The second variance which I will prove is no. The maximum height will be 22 feet and 8 in the max. Yes, sir. Okay. If you go a little bit lower, you better. Yeah. You don't want because they will come out there and measure. Sure.

Sure. Yep. Okay. So, you're approved for 22 foot and 8 in. 22 foot. You are off the road. You are back. Yeah. It's going to sit in the northeast corner of Mark. I see that corner where Okay. where you had it. So 2560 square ft and 22 feet 8 in on height. Okay. One second. Public hearing's closed, but if you have a question, I I will open up the public hearing. Let me tell the time is No, no. I will open it back up. I'm open public hearing. You have to come up here. State your name. Yeah.

I would like to be on his behalf. What's your name? You got your address? EC address? I'm sorry. Okay. So, I'm his next. Okay. I don't know anything for the building, but I'm the most effective there is. Okay. All right. Well, thank you. I appreciate that. In case you're speaking on the neighbors, I'm the neighbor. Yeah. Okay. All right. Okay. I I I checked it with just the neighbor next door. Well, I understand.

I understand. I understand. Yes, sir.

Name and address. Okay. I think you have some master. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for coming. Okay. close the public hearing again. Okay. All right. Back to let me finish the motion then. The first the first request is denied. The second one I will approve of the maximum height 22t in. So you're approved for that. All right. So 20 2560 square ft and 22t 8 in with a fits under your 2700. Okay. Understood. Really? Yeah. Yeah. You could build up to 27. Yep, that is true. I might sneak a few more square feet in there then.

So, we have to sign commitment. You won't use this for business or for living quarters. So, there's commitment whether you have to sign. It's no problem. It's not an issue. Nothing for you. No, we have in the past we have people automotive repair. No, I need storage neighbors any you know complaint. So you're approved. Thank you. Thank you.

Nest case is DB-2026-14. Applicant Christopher Walker. Location 819 North 300 East Alzo to Jackson Township. Zonies Ron move residential district acreage 6.27. Request to allow district structure be built in the front yard.

Hello, my name is Chris Walker. I'm 819 North 350 Brazo Indiana 46383. Um, the accessory structure that I've been looking to build is all under the parameters for what is allowed for my area. It's just the layout of my property. I have two frontages. I have Highway 6 and I have 350 is considered a front of my house. So, I was hoping that I could put it onto the side where there's more open land than having to put it all towards the back or the backside where the septic tank is. There's also wet land with Pete moss and everything else on the other side of my home. So that that is why I'm trying to get the variance for all this. Um, as far as like uh being a burden financially, if I had to move back, it's obviously more to for running utilities for electric or whatnot. Dirt filled, there's not a lot of level ground back there. There's a big like dip in the far back, trees that would need cut that are 100 foot tall, bunch of them. Um, and the houses around me, there's two that have garages or barns in the front yard. One's five houses down from me. The other one's on Travis Road. So, that's why I'm asking for the variance for where it would be at.

Okay. Thank you. Public hearing. Anybody want to speak in favor of this case? Seeing none, anybody want to speak against any questions? Saying none were close to public. Um, I was out your property before I was out there before you constructed. Yeah. What was that barrier for? Um, driveway. Yes, it was driveway close to to the intersection. Yes. And I had to get it cleared and make sure it was it would stay clear for it to be safe. I can remember I was I knew I was out.

Wait a minute. Um, I do have problem with this. I mean, you're in a front yard around six and you're covering part of your house almost. If you're coming down, that's I'm not too sure how that's going to look. And you do have the other side of house. Yeah, you got to bring some dirt in. It is low, but it's manageable. You can do it. Is it extra cost? Yeah, but cautious is not partial. Well, I was also hoping because the driveway would be going past that we could utilize it. But as far as the trees go, that's where the major burden would be for all those get cleared out to be safe to have it built up like that. I think aesthetically you're not going to really see like 350. You're not going to be able to see the barn like obstructing the house at all. I just feel like

from all six. Yeah. I I I mean, you don't have that many trees. Well, where towards the back of the house there there is a lot of tall trees. There's 180 foot tall pines that are That's Yeah, we're talking about front.

Right. Right. And I I don't know. I mean, you have the drawing right of where it would be placed. So, everywhere else it's kind of low land on the back by the septic. As far as the back side of the house goes, that's where all those other real tall trees are that I would be worried about hitting. the house that's or the garage at some point because they are falling. I've had six fall since we had our house built. How about the east side of the house? That That's the one I'm talking about. The trees. Yeah, those real tall pines that are out there.

Yeah, cuz where I was wanting it, it seems like that's for sound deadening and everything else and also for the trees. There's not a lot of weak trees there. There's a lot of strong growth. And I don't want to take I would like to not have to take the other pines that have been there since I think like the 40s. I wouldn't I don't really want to cut those down, but not really my choice at this point. Yeah. See, that's one part of laying out, you know, buying the property, make sure it's going to fit for your planning, and then laying out the house. you know, some some parcels, some lots won't accept, you know, pole barns, you know, or large houses or whatever. And, you know, we invite you buy your property, got laid out, make sure work.

Yeah. This is I think it's one of those cases. Maybe the pole bar came after fall and now you got to put in your front yard. Well, it did because my mom is moving. She's selling her house. So, I had all of my things over there. So, now I have to sold a barn. She's selling her house in a few months. So, I kind of got broadsided with it. I'll be glad to the second look had come out there and see the east side again. I walk the east side. Yeah. And I thought there was a clearing. It is low. I fig Well, you could fill it in. Yeah. You won't have a driveway, but there's several barns in the county without

Yeah. At least drive attracted to it. you know, your your your equipment, whatever may not connect to your driveway unless you put a circle driveway in the front. You did you're going to have something like that, aren't you? Aren't you? Yeah, it show it kind of L's over. You are going to be closer to other side. Really? Well, it was going to be going right past that. So, I could put the cars in and everything because I've got my daughter and uh my vehicles, my wife and her grandma that's with us as well. But Christopher, I thought there was a clearing on the east side from your house to the woods. There was a clearing there. There's a little clearing. Yes. But those trees are still tall where they would come down and hit the place. But

I know I can't I can I cannot consider that harsh. Do you have a spot on the east side you could put this? I'd be glad to take a second look at it. If not, I would deny it right now. I just come out there and take a second look. to make sure I'm correct. East side I think on east side even a couple trees down and you know trees may fall they may stay up another 50 years you just never know. Yeah I mean people build orange into the trees. Yeah I know they trim the trees you know well if you would come by to take a look I would appreciate it if you would be able to do that.

Are you going to hurry for this because I'm going I'm going to I kind of am just for the couple months that I have to try to do it, you know. Yeah, we're not sure our next might be one. So, but I'd be glad to do that. Not going to be able. Okay. Might be May next week. Um, do you still want to be continued? I mean, I just deny it and move forward. If it's denied and move forward, do I have to try to go to wherever you're talking because I don't know exactly. You know, there's there's another there's B numbers on.

Yeah. You can appeal it to the whole board and go through the same process all over. Okay. And then but again, that's not going to be April. It'll be May, right? So looking into May, no matter what you go to. Okay. So then if you did come out, it'd be May and maybe we can see see your number with Okay. I will call you. Okay. We walk it together. All right. Okay. Yeah. Like to work with you, but yeah. Understand what it's going to show from doesn't fit the area. Yeah. The only thing that I had was those other two that were in front of their homes. That's that's why I thought it would be

They did. Yeah, they did. The one was a couple years ago.

They may be grandfathered, you know. I don't know which ones you're talking about, you know. I don't know. So okay with that I will continue DB-2026-14 let's continue okay next case is DB-2026-15 applicant Jerry and Jamie is it fee sir fe okay location 774 Chester drive he Indiana zone is R1 Destiny single family residential district acreage is 4.10 request to allow increase the height of 44 ft to a proposed proposed accessory start.

Thanks. Yeah. Jerry Feeser 774 Chester Drive Indiana 46341 and I'm here u seeking variance for the height on my pullb barn and um reason for it is one is uh just aesthetically I'm looking to have a steeper pitch on my uh roof so I want to do a 612 pitch kind of go with my house a little bit better and then also So, um I am in the woods and so I'm thinking that that would just help to keep that roof a little bit clear, a little bit steeper, um for leaves, snow, things like that. But the main reason is is um for the the look of the of the building. Um I'd like to have that variance instead of the 20 foot to go with a 24.

That's it. That's it. What are you going to use it for? uh storage. I've got a travel trailer, um pickup truck, tractor, just personal use. Um I got an enclosed trailer, things like that. Um no business, no house, uh anything like that. So just nobody living in it. No. Kids can't come back. That's motion here. It's a public hearing. Anybody want to speak in favor? Say none. Anybody want to speak against? Say none. You got a nice piece of land here. Thank you. Yeah. And I did drive in the neighborhood. Mhm.

And there is there is a a building which I'm surprised at. Okay. It's at least 24 which I'm talking looks like a twotory garage. Yeah. You know when that was constructed? I know you're talking about uh Paul Kraker. Um He It's probably been I'm guessing six maybe seven years ago. Six years ago. I'm surprised it's approved. I hope I didn't approve it. I don't know. I give the address here. Hold on. Yeah. I don't know if it was approved. They had added on to it. I was I was surprised when I see

I think he built it when he when he retired. You know, he g something to something to do. 750 759 house I'm talking about that's the one you're talking about too Oh no no that's um that's Todd he just built that like maybe two years ago. Uh Todd and um Kathy um hardway.

No, it's on the property. The real property. Yeah. I always, you know, see what's going on in the neighborhood. Mhm. And I thought it was a house. I looked looked I said it looks like a garage with a twotory living quarters above it. Yeah. He That's maybe two years ago, maybe. I know I would I would have to go back up, but I was just pull to see, but you said it was a couple years ago. Yeah, probably I'd say maybe two, three years ago at the most.

And now you said there's another one in the neighborhood also, X Street over. No, on the same street. Um, if you go down just south of his house towards my house toward the culde-sac on the Quinnby on the west side, Paul, he he built a garage, you know, it's I'm sure it was within the or he got a bearing. I don't know. That may not be 24 feet, but I don't think so. No, I think it's 20. Yeah, I looked at that. Yeah, you probably know which one I'm talking about. It was on the west side. I think the other, you know, with me being where my house is back in the woods too, you really don't you're not going to see it. Well, you have to have 24 You have to have 24 ft tall

to get Yeah. to get my You're trying to get Yeah. I got a 14 foot wall. Yeah. So, the standard I mean I could do a 412 and it would be 20 foot, but I would really, like I said, I would really like to go with the the 612 pitch on the roof and I think it really look nice with my house. Yeah, you got a nice house. Thank you. Well, there's one in the neighborhood already. We're going to check this out. I mean, but uh I was surprised to see that. So, Chrissy would get on it. Anyway,

I wonder if they added it looks like two additions. It looks like a garage and back originally and then the side edition and the top edition. There's nothing in there. Yeah, it's a big nothing. No. Okay. I will approve case DB-2026-15 the height of 24 feet max. Yes, sir.

Max. Okay. with understanding you will sign letter of commitment. Okay. It's only for personal use, not for business with recorders. Yes. That's just what happens right here. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, abs.
