Amore appropriate design for this site would be to reduce the shed size to about 10'x 12' and reduce the height by a half story. However, with the site in relation to adjacent properties, and that it is not permanent, the • structure could be considered by the Commission with a conditional approval that all other Building Codes are met. If a variance or special exception is required, the applicant would reapply with an amended design. 2. The Standards and Guidelines are explicit regarding replicating the same design or by a design more in keeping with the historic period of the structure. A flat roof with no railing is recommended but an increase in the depth of deck and roof could be considered.
