Commissioner Sandra Solomon - Seat No. 3: Shared some concerns she had about a shed which had been constructed in what she felt was the front yard of a home in the Carriage Hill community and inquired of staff if anything could be done about it. She indicated she had concerns herself but had also been approached with complaints from other residents. Staff advised that the shed was in compliance with City regulations and had been properly permitted, and it was not actually in the front yard, but it may appear that way because of the configuration of the lot. Staff advised that there was not currently a provision in the Code requiring that sheds and other accessory structures be concealed behind a fence, and after considerable discussion staff was directed to look into whether the Code should be updated to include this type of regulation to prevent a recurrence of this type of issue and to protect community standards.
