Also request 20 foot height variance for bell tower and cross. Violation of Ord. 87-93, Sections 1139.04(a) and 1139.03. Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to the Reverend Father Flynn and R. Zarzycki; architect. Building Commissioner Conway advised that Ordinance 88-36 had been passed allowing Planning Commission to accept a 35 foot front set back providing that the set back is landscaped, so this would be a mute point. Law Director Gareau advised that technically this ordinance is not in effect as yet since the 30 day period is not over. Board had no problems with the requests. R. Bugala moved to grant the 15 foot front set back variance with the stipulations of the new ordinance that the front set back be landscaped and to grant the 20 foot height variance for the bell tower and cross for St. Clarence Church at 30106 Lorain Road, seconded by J. Helon, and unanimously approved. Variances granted. 9. Andreas and Christine Mealey, 5816 South Porter Road Request for variance (1123.12).

The oath was administered to Mr. and Mrs. Mealy and Mr. and Mrs. Gallo, neighbors. Pool is located on a vacant lot next to the lot where the Mealey`s house is located, and the 5 foot variance is on the Mealey's property line, not the adjacent neighbor's line.
