Thank you for reviewing our agricultural exemption request. We are submitting to construct a 320 Sq. Ft., 10' x 32' Planta Sungrow 32 Greenhouse.

The Planta Sungrow greenhouse features a breezeway, two-part dutch-door-style doorways, appropriate siding for weather exposure, and a shape very similar to a gambrel roof. The greenhouse will have an equivalent benefit to the community and environment compared to a traditional barn-style construction in the production of seedlings for ground cover and planting on the land, and use in growing local agricultural products.
