1)  [have included a printout of a shed that is the approximate size and
  style of the shed that we currently have. The cost listed is
  approximately $6200.00 and that does not include delivery or
  installation. Additionally, there is no reasonable place to put it that
  would allow for access year round. We cannot place it to the west of
  the house because that area is where the leach field is for our septic
  system and the area beyond that is wooded.

2) Since our property is set so far back from the road our house and shed
  are not visible from the road. There has never been a complaint from
  a neighbor regarding the placement of the shed.

3) The shed has been in its current location since approximately the year
  2000. In the 23 or so years since the shed was erected by the Munros,
  no one in the neighborhood has brought issue to the Town of Aurora
  with the location of the shed.

4) The need for a variance is not a result of our own actions nor has been
  self-created. As detailed in the statement above, we took possession of
  the property at 1305 Jewett Holmwood as was described and pictured
  in photos posted to Zillow in July 2020. The original homeowners
  never revealed that the shed was erected without a permit and was in
  violation. of an existing Town of Aurora building code.
