D-3/6-PRESENTATION Navigating the Process In speaking with the city offices in an attempt to understand the building codes, i was told conflicting information: ● We only needed 5 feet from our side yard to build a shed. This turned out to be 15 feet because of the street side setback, but even in reading through the municipal code handbook multiple times, it doesn’t state this with regard to sheds/accessory structures. ● Given incorrect codes from city officials when applying for variance (which speaks to the vagueness of the city code) ● Differing opinions of enforcement within the city ● Only after sifting through BOA hearings back to 2021 did I find another case that mirrored our situation. Without that I would have confidently built the structure thinking I was within code.
