on the property line.The ZHO felt that the petition did not meet the requirement for the

shed to be existing as it is for the last five years.

The Zoning Hearing Officer recommended to deny petition. This was due to the proposed

new detached garage being built on a adjacent property to where the owner lives. They

would be storing household items from the other property and since they are also business

owners, there was concern that they may store business materials there as well.
