2. Existing barn (To be removed at the start of construction)
3. Existing shed (To be removed at the start of construction).
4. Existing chicken coop (80 square feet) Used solely for agricultural purposes, so it does not apply toward the maximum number of structures allowed.
Request:
1. An SUP to allow the Applicant to reside in the existing 2,101 square-foot structure for 24 months during construction of a new primary dwelling.
