What this means
The commission voted to send a recommendation to the Village Board for a larger storage shed at 1845 W. Shorewood Drive. The request would allow a 192-square-foot shed instead of the usual 150-square-foot maximum because the owners said they need more space for equipment storage. If the Village Board approves it, the shed can be built with the conditions listed in the staff report.
