Anne Marie,
I visited this address last week but was not able to talk to the owners regarding the reasons
for an appeal. After reviewing what I could I believe the combustible structure should not
only be moved to at least five feet from the property line but also that same distance away
from the residence. The increased separation between the existing fence, the neighbor's
shed, and the applicant's house would be a vital life -safety benefit Dennis.

In that case the Engineering Dept. okay with the shed being placed anywhere on his property as long as
he understands that if ever needed for any reason the shed would have to be moved (when requested) at
his sole expense.

TJ,
Jerry's shed is like a stor-mor shed in that it's not on a permanent foundation — rather it could be moved with the
appropriate equipment.
