will not be considered in deciding the current variance application, other than to note that a
future change in use may require additional approvals.

After discussion, the Chairman restated that both cases on the agenda, 2026-1and 2026-2 are
identical applications for two sheds on the same property, and will be treated as sleeping shed
and bath house shed.
