. BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS OCTOBER 1, 1986 PAGE 5 existing ditch and south of the property line and with the condition that the present garden shed must be removed, seconded by B. Grace, and unanimously approved. Variance granted. 12. Gary Smith, 3436 Dawn Circle (heard at this point) Request for variance (1133.13). Request 5'4" rear yard variance for addition and greenhouse. Violation of Ord. 62-33, Section 1163.01. Also request special permit to add to non-conforming dwelling (side yard). Special per- mission required Ord. 62-33, Section 1231.02. Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Mr. Midagliotti, contractor. Mr. Bugala stated that he is concerned since this addition will only be a few feet away from the garage. They pointed out that there is an existing enclosed porch there now, it is in bad condition: and they will only be replacing what -is there now. Garage is only 10' away from the house proper (not including the porch). Mr. Grace believes that since porch is there now and is in such bad condition, that this will be improving the property. Mr. Gomersall stated he could never approve this since it would be a fire hazard. It was suggested that they move the addition over. Mr.. Midagiiotti stated that this would not be too practical since the patio door is only approximately 18" to 3'from the wall and a base- ment window would be obscured. They also stated it would be too costly to move the garage since it is in good condition. B. Grace moved to accept the proposal as long as they move the structure to within 6" from the north side of the double door going out of the back of the house, seconded by R. Bugala. Roll call on motion: Grace and Helon, Yes. Bugala, Gomersall, and Remmel, No. Motion failed to pass. Variance denied. Mr. Bugala stated that this was a safety hazard, and believed that they should re-arrange their plans and come back next montfi. 11. Andrew Mandilakis, 25755 Butternut Ridge Rd. (heard at this point) Request for variance (1133.13). Request 92 sq. ft. variance for area of shed and 1' height variance. Violation of Ord. 62-33, Section 1151.04-D. Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. and Mrs. Mandilakis who explained that when he picked up the application from the Building Department no one told him that there were limitations on the size of the shed and he was told that he could pour the slab before he got his permit. He poured a 12' by 16' pad and has bought the lumber. Had he known the size limitations, he would have conformed. Board has no pro- blem with the location but is concerned with the size. Mr. Mandilakis asked if they could at least have a variance to build a 10' by 12' shed so that he can use three of the curbs on the pad. Mrs. Mandilakis pointed out that the neighbors have no problems with the shed and she could contact them. Board advised them that they could have an 8' by 12' shed. Mr. Mandilakis stated that there should be some kind of procedure in the Building Department so that people know what the ordinances are. C. Remmel moved to grant the 92 sq.- fte variance for the shed and the 1' height variance, seconded by R. Bugala. Roll call on motion: Remmel, Helon, Bugala, Gomersall, no. Mr. Grace, yes. Motion failed to pass. Variance denied. C. Remmel moved to grant the location variance to coincide with the cement platform which is now in existance in the rear yard, seconded by R. Gomersall, and unanimously approved. 13. S. Katonka, 23197 Marion Rd. Request for variance (1133.13). Request 16' front set back variance for foyer and patio addition. Violation of Ord. 62-33, Section 1159.01.
