4. The applicant is not requesting a reduction to the setback requirements for the proposed building.

Please note that the accessory building regulations are intended to restrict tall or large accessory buildings from being located too close to property lines. To this end, the Board may establish conditions with respect to the maximum area, height and setbacks of the accessory building. If approved, the accessory building may not be used for business purposes.
