? BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS, SEPTEMBER 3, 1986 PAGE 3 Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to R. Mongello, architect, who explained he only needed a 6' variance for the canopy on Columbia Road and the variance for the canopy on Lorain Road. He stated that he had also requested a variance to install two pole signs on one lot (not stated in agenda item), one on Lorain Road and one on Columbia Road. Canopies are to cover gas pumps for proposed convenience store. Mr. Bugala stated that he believed that the canopies should conform to the code. Mr. Mongello explained that this is not a regularly shaped lot. C. Remmel moved to grant the request for a 14' set back variance for Lorain Road and a 6' variance for Columbia Road, seconded by J. Helon. Roll call on motion: Remmel, Helon, Gomersall, and Grace, yes. Mr. Bugala, no. Motion passed. Variances granted. The Board discussed the pole sign. Mr. Mongello stated that they could not put one pole sign at the intersection of Lorain and Columbia Roads because that area is marked as an historical district, so they are requesting on e additional pole sign on the Columbia Road side of the lot. Both signs are shown on the site plan in landscaped areas. Mr. Bugala pointed out that they would be allowed one ground sign and one pole sign on the property. .No actual copy for.the pole signs was presented, but the signage must be presented to the Architectural Board of Review for approval. B. Grace moved to grant the variance for the two pole signs on one lot as located on the drawing as long as the signageateets the total sign area allowed and with the condition that the Architectural Board of Review approves the style of the signs, seconded by R. Bugala, and unanimously approved. Variance granted. 7. Steven J. Urmin, property located between 5692 and 5668 Wellesley Ave. Request for variance (1133.13). Request 13.1' variance for distance between dwelling and adjacent non-conforming garage: Violation of Ord: 62-33, Section 1151.04-C. (Will be heard by Board of Building Code Appeals August 28, 1986). Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before-the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Mr. and Mrs. McCrone, neighbors, and to Mr. Urmin who explained that the adjacent=.:'. detached garage was less than 2' off his north property line and he would like to put his drive on the south side of the property to avoid cutting down some cedar trees. The neighbors contend that the house is much too large for the property. Mr Grace explained that the Board of Building Code Appeals had approved this house on this lot, and that the house was only 4' wider than the adjacent houses. Mr. McCrone questioned the grading. The grading must be approved by the City prior to their granting a building permit, and is not up to this Board. Mr. Urmin and the Board discussed various changes. Mrs.'McCrone presented a picture of the house and garage on the north side and contended that the garage was actually an attached garage. Building Commissioner Spino agreed that the garage is attached and explained that the requirement would then only be 15' between an attached garage and the house.. Mr. Bugala explained that if the drive is moved to the north side and 15' is required, he would only need a 6" variance. It was decided to give a 1' variance in case there was a problem with the calculations. Mr. Urmin agreed to this 'revision. R. Bugala moved to grant a 1' variance on the north.side of the property located between 5692 and 5668 Wellesley Ave. to build the house with the driveway being located on the north side, rather than the south side as indicated and that a legal garage must be constructed at the time of construction, seconded by R. Grace, and unanimously approved. Variance granted.
