Mr. Whitehouse explained that there were no points-;fence would be cedar which will gray naturally; that it would be in the rear yard (will have a 5" board with a 3" space); and would be 17' off sidewalk. He wants the fence to line up with an existing fence and needs it to shield family room from headlights. Board agreed that a 16' length of a 6' privacy screen would solve the problem. E.

Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath-was administered to Mr. Kiefer who explained he needed garage for his 2 cars and a motor home. Present garage will only accommodate one car. His lot has 3 acres and the existing barn will eventually be torn down.

Request for variance (1133,13). Request variance to use residential property for parking lot. Violation of Ord. 62-33, Section 1151.01. Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Gus Georgalis, George Georgalis, the owners, T. Kondzer, their attorney, and Mrs. Sappone, D. Lusardo, Mrs. Herly, Mrs. Woods, J. Juhas, Mrs. Deemer, Mrs. Thomasma, and Mr. Hoyt. Mr. Kondzer explained that Mr. Georgalis is requesting a variance to park cars on a vacant lot with a drive- way onto Silverdale Road with a mounded landscape buffer adjacent to the resi- dential area. Vacant lot is not wide enough:. to develop residentially. Neigh- bors are opposed to another parking lot adjacent to their homes and stated that a landscape buffer will not stop trash from blowing onto their property, they need a barrier; property values have been decreased because they are surrounded by parking lots; they do not want a dumpster closer to their homes. Variance is for parking and dimmpster could not be placed on that property. Mr. Georgalis will eliminate driveway onto Silverdale and install mounded landscaping in that area. He presented a petition with signatures of his customers who want more parking. Two customers spoke in favor of variance; citing problems with parking, traffic exiting and entering, and stating that Milton's was a familq restaurant and does not generate the trash that the fast food restaurants do. Mr. Remmel stated that the Board is aware of the need, hawever, to do this would require a rezoning, not a variance, and should be heard by Planning Commission. Mr. Kondzer disagreed and stated that such a variance could be granted. fle was advised to contact the Law Director regarding any legal questions. C. Remmel moved to refer this to the Planning Commission for their review and action, if it requires a variance after they get through with it, it will come back here, they (the Planning
