Mrs. Torgerson stated they would not <br /> be using the structure for anything but storage; the loft area in the structure is just high <br /> enough to store items on, not sleeping quarters. <br /> Commissioner Hallan inquired if the structure is prewired and if the applicants are <br /> going to run power to it.
