<br />of shed which exceeds the 2% maximum of the rear yard area. Also, request 3 foot rear yard variance for
<br />location of shed which will replace and enlaxge existing shed. Violation of Ord. 90-125, Section

<br />Chairman Gomersall called all interested parties before the board. The oath was admiuistered to Mr.
<br />Bower, developer, and neighbors, Mr. Dusek, Mh and Mrs. Lynn, W. and Mrs. Barlik Mr. Schmetzer,
<br />Ms. Toyama, Mr. and Mrs. Troibner, Mr. Vannoy, Mr. and Mrs. Reale, Mr. Patton, Ms. Foney, Mr.
<br />and Mrs. Harrison, Mr. Hollish, Mr. and Mrs. Nicola, Mr. E. Durkin, Mr. Wasmer, Mr. Geiger, Mr.
<br />Mino, and Councilman 1VIcKay. Chairman Gomersall asked if Mr. Clingman was present and since he
<br />was not, Mr. Gomersall advised that the record is to show that a copy of Mr. Clingman's letter to
<br />planning coinmission's Chairman Tallon is in the file. (See attached). Mr. Bower explained the proposal.
<br />The development will be on 14 acres of land, 11 of which are zoned Multi Family. The proposal is to
<br />build duplex houses in a Multi-Family zone, and he noted that the zoning code will allow the
<br />development of single family, single family cluster, or duplex units in a Multi-family zone only if is
<br />contiguous to a district that permits those uses. This Mu1ri-Family property is not touching property
<br />zoned for two family housing. He explained that variance request number 5 is the main issue and what
<br />he has been alluding to. Granting a variance to build two family will allow what the zoning code purports
<br />to permit; that is, one can build two family in Multi Family if it is contiguous to a Two Family District. In
<br />fact, there is only one such situation in North Olmsted and that area is developed. He explained that
<br />most suirounding suburbs have a type of pyramidal use in their codes, in other words, a Multi-Family
<br />District can be developed for two family, and Multi-Family can be built in a commercial zone. He
<br />believed that this would allow a diversity of uses within a Mu1ti Family zone. Regarding the first
<br />variance, the code requires 100 feet from the right of way, but this is specified for larger apartment
<br />buildings, the bigger the building the deeper the setback. They are not proposing big buildings, they are
<br />building houses, and the 40 feet is what the old zoning code required. They are proposing 40 feet from
<br />Brookpark Road, but this will be about 100 feet from the pavement of Brookpark, the variance would be
<br />to build 40 feet from the right of way line. Regarding request number 2 and 3, there are a number of 15
<br />foot side setback lines, some of which are setback 15 feet from the rear property lines of property zoned
<br />6
