BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS MAR.CH 4, 1987 PAGE 2 they are a camping family and they need the space for their recreational vehicle, their camping equipment, 2 family cars, and a classic car. They need the 10 foot door for the R.V. and they prefer the appearance of the gable roof design. Mr. Mortus has no objection to the proposal. Mr. Remmel stated that the Board does not want to do anything that would en- courage a commercial use on Columbia Road and such a garage could be converted by a subsequent owner. Mr. Bugala believes that the square footage of the garage is unreasonable. Mrs. Strauss explained that the garage was to be two cars deep and only two cars wide, and she believes that the City would like to have all recreational vehicles under cover. They plan to remove the existing shed on the property. It was suggested that they add a carport behind the garage for the recreational vehicle. r_ Mr. Bugala does not believe that the Board should be concerned with housing ;-- a recreational vehicle. After some discussion the Mr. and Mrs. Strauss -- agreed to continue the request until the next meeting. It was suggested . ' that they look at a garage that was approved on Walter Road. Mr. Strauss would like 24 feet across the front and 32 feet deep to accommodate the recreational vehicle. The Board stated that a three car garage might be acceptable. Case continued. 2.

Snelzer, attorney for Scottish Inns, Inc., who presented a letter stating that he had granted permission for the sign and had agreed to their representing him at this meeting. Mr. Snelzer explained that the Inn is located at 22115 Brookpark Road, Fairview Park, and tfiey are req_uesting that the sign be placed at this location during the reconstr•uction of the Br•ookpark Rocky River Bridge.
