Per the County Ordinance, a secondary structure is allowed as a temporary structure for a period of 15 years provided it is accessory to an agricultural operation and can only be occupied by a family member and must be located in the existing farm yard. With regard to the septic system, the current system will be able to accommodate the new building. Jarrell clarified that one of the existing structures will be removed to make room for the new temporary structure. Jarell stated her second request is a conditional use permit to allow for a home extended business to provide art classes and for pottery sales. She stated that she is looking at small group classes and possibility workshops on weekends. In addition she would like to have pottery sales throughout the year.
