These situations are further described in Land Development Code Section 5.5.2. It is the applicant's responsibility to make the case for approval of their variance in the letter of intent. In your letter of intent, the Code was referred to but there was no additional information for why the barn structure has to be as large as what is proposed. Parcels 2.5 acres or greater could have an accessory structure that is up to 2 times the size of the primary residence. If the primary residence was larger, there might not be an issue with the size of the barn. These are the type of arguments that could be used to support your case. Please revise the letter of intent to justify why the barn structure variance should be approved.	8/9/2019 4:38:04 PM
