Dear Mr.Lewis.-
[
ewis:I am writing to you in response to my review of your recently �ubrnifted Area Variance
application and to document your recent conversations with Laura Moore of my office.
Consistent with my February 14, 2013 letter to you on this subject, I find that an Area Variance
will be needed in order for you to maintain your shed in its recently repositioned location.
Specifically,your relocated shed location does not meet the minimum setback requirements of the
Moderate Density Residential {MDR.) district (which it did when we issued the 2013 permit) as
such, a variance is necessary. Attached please find my original 2013 letter for your reference.
I understand that you have submitted an Area Variance application on this matter, as such this
letter serves as the necessary denial leder for your project.
Should you have any questions regarding the above cornments, please do not hesitate to contact
this office.
Sincerely,
Town of Qu>--nsbury
