Petitioner's Letter of Intent - Shed To the Town of Aurora Zoning Board of Appeals: The owners propose an approximately 8-foot by 16-foot detached residential storage shed in the side-yard area identified on the site plan, The 16-foot dimension will run generally parallel to the side property line. The available distance between the house and side property line is approximately 20 feet, and the shed is proposed approximately 3 feet from the property line, subject to field verification. This location is important because it is the most practical and convenient location for the intended rasidential storage use. It provides easy access for storing deck furniture and other seasonal outdoor items and keeps the lawn mower and lawn-maintenance equipment reasonably close to the driveway. An existing drainage feature is located below/near this area. The shed base and final placement will be arranged so that the existing drainage function is not obstructed. The proposed location is also a less visually prominent, partially screened portion of the property. Locating the shed here helps keep it from becoming an eyesore or prominent feature for neighboring properties and preserves the more open portions of the rear yard for normal residential and recreational use. Moving the shed substantially farther toward the rear of the property would make access to lawn equipment and large deck furniture less convenient while providing little practical benefit. The proposed location therefore provides the best balance of access, function, appearance, and preservation of usable yard space. The owners believe the requested location will not create an undesirable change in neighborhood character or negatively affect adjacent properties and respectfully request the minimum zoning relief necessary for the proposed placement. Thank you for your consideration.
