For example: I think, if you had a 10 X 15 tool shed within the setback and said you would remove it to add 110 Sq feet to the house they might look favorably on it.

That is my opinion but I think every situation is evaluated based on its merits.
Going through it now and this exactly what they do. You make tradeoffs that get both parties closer to what they want.
