STAFF COMMENTS: The Planning staff would like to submit these changes to the Accessory
Buildings and Structures section of the Zoning Ordinance. This has been a difficult section for
the staff to administer, and the public to understand based on the confusing way the text is
worded. Therefore, we have attempted to clarify the standards, while not changing the intent.
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS: On August 1, 2007, the Planning Board voted
10-0 to recommend approval of this request and to advise that it is consistent with the County
Land Use Plan.
