Summary
A 40-by-80-foot commercial-storage pole barn next to a residence split the board: height relief passed, but the side-yard setback was denied after a neighbor raised noise and proximity concerns. The applicants still need a rural occupation special use permit from the Planning Board.

Impact analysis
The applicant said building his own storage beats a five-year, $150,000 lease he was quoted elsewhere.
The applicants gain storage for their business equipment, though with a longer approval path.
The Powlette family next door loses the setback relief they opposed, though the denied variance keeps the building farther from their bedroom window.
