BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS NOVEMBER 13, 1985 PAGE 2 Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. Zika who explainedthat hewanted to keep shed near ditch and that southern property line is adjacent to Olmsted Township and is vacant. He will remove other shed on property and needs additional storage for lawn and scouting equipment. Proposed shed would be 12' by 16' and 8' high. Z'his is practically the size of a garage and Board sug- gested that he just put up another garage since he would still be within the permitted 750 square feet of garage area. C. Remmel moved to grant the variance, seconded by R. Bugala. Roll call on motion: Remmel, Bugala, and Gomersall, Nay. Motion failed to pass. Variance denied. 5. Nancy C. Hastings, 5695 Allendale Rd. Request for variance (1133.13). Request 14'6" rear yard variance for roof over deck. Violation of Ord. 62-33, Section 1163.01. (Variance denied September 4, 1985 - construction of roof differs from previous request.) Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Ms. Hastings, Ms. Schulzey, her friend, Mr. Devries, the contractor, and neighbors Mr. E. Zvaigzne and Mr. LaJoe. Mr. Devries explained that the type of roof has been changed: outside perimeter will be fiberglass shingles to match the roof of the house and fiber glass will only be in the middle, and this should eliminate previous objection that roof looked like a carport. Neighbors still objected to the encroachment into the green area of the neighborhood since rear area has never had sheds, fences, decks, etc. Building Commissioner Gundy advised that a retractable awning could be installed and would comply with the Zoning Code. Mr, Devries stated that the permanent roof would be less objectional. Mr. Bugala stated that this is too great an encroachment. C. Remmel moved to grant the request, seconded by R. Gomersall. Roll call on motion: Remmel and Gomersall, Yes. Bugala, Nay. Motion failed to pass. Variance denied. Ms. Hasting was advised that she could come back in a year with this re- quest or could change the size of the variance requested and return earlier. 6. Hennie Homes, property located west of John Knox church (25200 Lorain Rd.) and east of proposed relocated S.R. 252. Request continued until next meeting at the request of the developer. 7. Margaret Terrall, 5943 Fitch Rd. Request for variance (1133.13). Request 10' front set back variance for carport in front'of garage. Violation of Ord. 62-33, Section 1159.01. Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. Kemm, Patio Enclosures, who explained that Mrs. Terrall is disabled and cannot get into the garage, and needs this pro- tection to.kPe.p sidewa.lks and car clear of snow. He suggested that a temporary variance could be granted during her ownership of the property. Law Director Gareau stated that the variance would have to remain with the property. Board felt that depth of carport could be reduced and still serve the same purpose. Neighbor's house will obscure most of it on one side and there are planting on the other. R. Gomersall moved to grant a 7z foot front set back variance for a car port in front of the garage for Margaret Terrell with the provision that the carport will never be enclosed, seconded by. R. Bugala, and unanimously approved.. Variance granted.
