This area is at the rear of the property and is just dirt now, there has been vandalism and they have been asked by the neighbors to clean it up. Mr. Grace asked if they would be willing to oil it down so that dust would not be created. Mr. Nesselhauf agreed to that and stated that a previous request that had been approved had not been built because the cost of putting in drainage and black top.had been prohibitive.

Aquasonic Car Wash, 28800 Lorain Road Request for variance (1123.12). Request 6 foot front set back variance for canopy and 2 foot front set back variance for corner of building (vestibule). Violation of Ord. 87-93, Section 1139.04. Please note: building under . construction. Chairman Bugala called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. J. Attwood, owner, who presented the site plan which was used to lay out the building. He pointed out the 90 foot dimension which had been picked up as the set back, but that 90 foot figure was not from the pro- perty line, it was from the 7 foot green area. The work was done in October, but they were not told about the error until February 18th. He pointed out that they had originally designed the canopy in an irregular ma.nner so that it would conform to the 50 foot set back and that since the property is 700 feet deep there would have been no problem conforming to set back requirements. -He stated that this was just a mistake, and was not done maliciously. He further advised that there was just one corner of the vestibule of the building that was encroaching, but the canopy is out further; it will be impossible to tear out the vestibule, since there are footers and a supporting wall. Also the canopy was designed to have the superstructure imbedded into.the wall of the building and because of the footers and the tank field behind the canopy it would be impossible to change it at this point. He stated that aesthetically this should not effect Lorain Road since there are other non-conforming front set backs in the area. He presented a list of non-conforming set backs in an area from Dover Center Road to Barton Road showing that out of the 47 properties
