Findings & Analysis
9
• Conditions
preventing
application
of
the
zoning
standard:
– standard setbacks would place the structure in the
middle of the pasture and remove a large portion of
food source
• Standard deprives appellant common rights:
– Sunburst Farms was an agricultural community
– Applicant would not be able to keep the sheep due to 
loss of food source

Findings & Analysis
10
• Hardship not the result of actions by the applicant:
– Standard
16
foot
height
does
not
meet
vehicle
clearance
• Interfere / alter legal use of adjacent properties:
– northeast corner location 
• East side neighbor - existing landscape 
• North neighbor – existing buildings
• Proposed 10 foot setbacks allow runoff to be 
contained within the subject property

Recommendation
11

subject to the following stipulations:
1. Development shall be in substantial conformance with 
applicable narrative, site, and floor plans, date 
stamped August 7, 2024.
2. Rear setback shall be 12 feet to incorporate irrigation
