/ T BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS SEPTEMBER 2, 1987 PAGE 3 objected to previous request. Chairman Remmel wants the shed to conform to the 8 foot height requirement.

Remmel moved to grant this request exactly as it is outlined with.the exception.of the height, the height will be limited to 8 feet and with the condition that all other shed with the exception of the new garage will be taken down, seconded by R. Bugala, and unanimously approved. Variance granted. 7. James J. Gudin, 27917 Forestwood Parkway Request for ruling (1133.09). Request for ruling that a gazebo (or screen room) is a permitted use in a residential district as defined in Ord. 62-33, Section 1151.04 (Accessory Uses in Any Residence District). Please Note: structure is to be located in rear set back. Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Boarde The oath was administered to Mr. Gudin and neighbors, J. Pitty, G. Arnold, L. Underwood, and D. Scheef who warited to see the proposal. Mr. Gudin explained that he would like to build 9.12 by 12 foot gazebo, approximately 9'feet high, at the end of his deck. The structure will be wolminized wood with lattice - work walls which are screened. Since there is no provision in the codes for gazebos, Building Commssioner Conway stated he needs some kind of perameters for lot coverage unless the Board wants to look at each gazebo separately. Mr. Grace stated that Mr. Gudin should submit building plans. Board discussed whether this should be ruled as a similar use to a garage, an enclosed patio, or a shed. Law Director Gareau advised that the Board could request Council to draw up some legislation with guidelines for gazebos, or they could rule by setting up guidelines for ga.zebos, if they so desire. Mr. Remmel suggested this could be the same as an enclosed, detached patio. Mr. Gareau stated that there is no such category in the code, but it could be considered a like and similar use to a utility building, and then variance could be granted for height, location, etc. Previously the Board ruled that a pavil- ion was similar to a shed. Mr. Gudin stated that there are several other gazebos in North Olmsted. C. Remmel moved that the Board will rule this will come under the category of Section 1151.04-D which is a building detached from a dwelling used for storage commonly referred to as a tool shed, seconded by B. Grace, and unanimously approved. It was clarified that Mr. Gudin would have to return to the Board with plans since.it is apparent that he will need variance. 7. Store-It-Aere, south side of Lorain Road, west of McKenzie Road. Request for ruling (1133.11). Request ruling if storage units for use of general public are a permitted use in a General Retail District, this proposed use is not listed as a specific use in Ord. 62-33, Section 1173.02. Also request for variance (1133.13). Request variance to install skylight in area designated as a"rest area". Violation of Ord. 62-33, Section 1174.02. Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. Dean, owner; Mr. Geiger, attorney; Mr. Andrico, real estate representative; and neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Pietroroia, and Mr. and Mrs. Crider. Law Director Gareau stated that normally storage or warehousing would be restricted to the Industrial area, however, that type storage is bulk or cold storage, and this use differs from that. The uses as listed in the General Retail District are uses and services that are delivered to the consumer, and this was the reasoning behind the previous approval of the
