the history of this property.
• If all the issues can be resolved, Staff recommends approval of this request
Brent Liggett,Cannel Building&Code Enforcement Dept.: I posted the Stop Work Order at this property.The property
owner started to build this accessory structure and didn't know he needed a building permit.I walked through this home
at the time and noticed this appears to be an office for a heating and cooling business. The property owner stated he plans
to move here at some point.I have concerns that this storage is all work related and we have a home occupation or use
violation with this structure. The property owner should file for a use variance for this property or come back at a later
date when he establishes full-time residence at this home.

a storage building,but you are not even living on this property. I'm going to deny this request.You should request
