<br />May, Mr. Miller, Ms. May, Councilinau McKay, and L. Orlowski, a resident of Bailey who was
<br />formerly a chairinan of Plauning Commission, came forward. Mr. Gomersall explained the
<br />variances and asked that when the neighbors spoke, not to repeat what others have said and to
<br />stick to_the variances that are being requested. Mr. Mongello introduced the representatives and
<br />explained that this is the final phase to complete the Olmsted Plaza Shopping Center. They have
<br />owned the auto glass company build.ing for many years and have been negotiating for sometime
<br />with Mr. Passant to buy the corner property with a house on it. During that time, the zoning
<br />eodes have changed and because the lots are small, in order to develop the property and be
<br />consistent with the existing buildings, they will need variances from the new code. Chairman
<br />Gomersall adiniuistered the oath at this time. Mr. Mongello noted that the existing homes (on
<br />Fleharty) were set back 40 some feet. He presented a drawing showing the bu.ildable area of this
<br />lot if the existing codes were followed and concluded that it wottld allow only for a building 15
<br />feet deep and 140 feet long. He maintained that the owners will work with the residents and,
<br />because the children have to wait for the bus on this corner, they would be willing to install a
<br />bus shelter similar to the RT.A. shelters. They understand the traffic problems on Lorain Road
<br />and have heard that, duriug the Christmas season, Litehouse Pool employees park on Fleharty,
<br />but his client cannot control that. Mr. Glazier, one of the owriers, pointed out that the property
<br />has been zoned commercial for some time and" they are not requesting re-zoning, the existing
<br />buildiug is set back 41 feet, and tlie new building back 50 feet and the corner lot is only 50 foot
<br />wide, and a 50 foot side yard requirement would prohibit any building on that property. He
<br />pointed out that they have attempted to work,with the community by improving the existing
<br />buildings by changing the color of the mansard, installing a fence along the rear yard, and
<br />adding landscaping. Mr. Wensink, a neighbor, responded they want 7,000 square feet and it is
<br />zoned for 1,800. Mr. Mongello advised that the 1ot coverage was not in violation, they only
<br />need variances for setbacks. Mr. Wensink responded that the codes are to control the building
<br />and they I?new the codes when they bought the property. Mr. Gomersall pointed out that he
<br />knew this property was zoned commercial when he bought the property and codes change and
