Commissioner Fuchs questioned Mr. Bartlow on the use of the building. Mr. Bartlow indicated the building would be used for storage of hay and cattle, as he was a farmer. He further indicated there was a swampy area in the southwest corner of his property. What he refers to as unbui1dab1e hill and leveled it off using the fill to fill in the swamp. He positioned his agricultural building to avoid building where the swamp was or his house. Chairman Wilson was for agricultural uses a free building permit. concerned about the determination of this building and what process staff goes through for granting The Building and Zoning administrator explained that there is no building code on agricultural buildings and how they are constructed, but a building permit is required. Mr. Bartlow applied for a building permit, but started work without it. He indicated that he didn't think the permit was of importance, since it was a free permit. It was because of this mix up that Mr. Bartlow started his building prior to the variance being issued. When staff realized that Mr. Bartlow was encroaching on the 300 ft. setback, his building was immediately red 'tagged. The Building & Zoning Administrator stated that Mr. Bartlow may meet the requirements for a variance due to the physical characteristics of his property. Fifty feet more or less on a 300 ft. setback from an agricultural building to another house would not be worth making Mr. Bartlow move his structure. Chairman Wilson opened the public hearing.
