The oath was adiniuistered to <br />Mr. Case, owner, and Mr. Benedict, a neighbor who lives to the rear. Mr. Gomersall noted that the <br />Plauviug Commission recommended approval. Mr. Case stated that since his neighbor was <br />concemed about buffering, he had a revised plan which included some scotch pines for screening <br />and he also was showing the lighting in the rear which has a low spill rate and would be on a timer <br />which will turn them off after his employees leave. Building Commissioner Conway advised that <br />both of these issues should be addressed by the planning commission, the function of this board <br />was to deal with the variances. Mr. Benedict stated that he had no problem with the variances, his <br />concern was the buffering in the rear property line. Law Director Gareau pointed out that <br />previously the city required a 50 foot front setback and since it was changed to 75 feet practically <br />anyone developing on Lorain Road needs a variance. He noted that changing it to 75 feet, just <br />moves developments closer to residential areas. He suggested a floating setback that planning <br />commission could deal with such as from 35 feet to 70 feet depending on how much. green area <br />there would be in front. Mr. Case explained that he needed the variance to keep this building in <br />line with his existing building.
