Special Council as Board of Appeals Meeting 10/4/93 Page Three _ Mr. Fixler, seconded by Mrs. Leppla, macle a motion to grant a variance to D.O. . Summers, for their b.uilding located at 6535 Wilson Mills Road allowing the applicant to be exempt from the requirement for further insulation on the subject building with the condition that prior to any change in use that it be insulated according to our code. ROLL CALL: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Variance Granted Mrs. Cinco said there is one more matter Council that requires a variance--for Taffy's. Mr. Diemert introduced Ms. Terri Eloff from Taffy's on Beta Drive, in the audience. He said Taffy's wishes to conduct a sale on October 17 through October 23 (approximately 6 days) at their property. It is not properly zoned for retail sale. As their letter of September 27 explains, this is an activity that would be a one-time deal for clearing their premises of certain goods so they can condense their sale operations and make a success out of their business in other ways. They are going to present this sale to the area of Mayfield Village and the surrounding communities. The liquidation sale would be conducted indoors on their premises. They have more than adequate parking, will hire security from our Police Department during the entire event, and the landlord is in agreement. Mr. Diemert said it is his understanding they have had similar such sales (not for the purpose of closing) which had been approved by the then Mayor without Council involvement. Once this application came in, it went through the Building Department. The Building Inspector determined that it was not a proper use. He presented it to the Mayor. The Administration has no objection to this, but feels it needs to be approved by Council since is in violation to'our code. It would be in the form of a temporary variance just for that one week period. Mr. Diemert asked Ms. Eloff if there is anything she would like to add. Mr. Flynn asked the time frame connected with this. Ms. Eloff said 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Mr. Flynn said he wondered if there would be any problems with traffic. 1VIrs. Cinco said they usually don't have traffic problems.
