Chairman Gomersall called all interested parties before the board. The oath was administered to Mr. Ulisse, contractor, Mr. Zeppetella, owner, Mr. Beck, the owner ofthe business next door, and Mr. and Mrs. Hill., neighbors on the east side of McKenzie. Mr. Ulisse explained the requests, and asked to be allowed to continue parking along the guardrail on the west which does not have the 10 foot side setback. Mr. Gomersall noted that the Planning Commission's main objection to the station was the appearance and the cars that are stored on the lot. Building Commissioner Conway advised that Planving Commission suggested that the 20 foot side yard be reduced to 10 feet in order to extend it up to the driveway (basically in an arc). The guardrail on the west is 3 foot offthe property line and goes down to 10 feet. Mr. Beck had no problem with the request. Mr. Conway explained that they had to sacrifice a few parking spaces in order to have an enclosure across the back of the building to store old parts, tires, etc., which will shield it from the neighbors. Mr. Zeppetella stated that they will be parking 4 cars inside the bays when the station is closed and he thiuks that they can complete work on the cars faster because they will have more space. Mr. Conway stated that the city mainly wants the station cleared up when it is closed. The members have no problem with the request. J. Maloney moved to approve the request for Unocal 76 Station, 28233 Lorain Road, for a 10 foot variance for landscape buffer on side yard; a 7 foot setback variance on west property line.
