No further representation was present in favour of or in objection to the application. In response to questions from Committee Members, Doug Norton stated the garden shed is not attached to the house, it is bolted to a concrete pad that would have complications in dismantling and reassembling the structure. The primary reason for the garden shed setback variance is due to the irregularly shaped lot lines not being parallel. Regarding the proposed pool house, Doug Norton indicated there will be power to the structure, however the structure will not be heated. It is to be usable three seasons of the year with no intention for occupation. The purpose of the pool house is for storage of patio furniture, shelter and entertainment. Its size is to accommodate the desired structure relative to the pool that is currently under construction.
