BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS JUNE 6, 1984 PAGE 2 4. William J. Kappa, 5669 Whitehaven Request special permit to add covered deck to non-conforming dwelling (front set back). Special permission required Ord. 62-33, Section 1231.02. Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. Kappa and neighbor, Mrs. Wolfe who stated that she believed that the deck was an improvement. Regarding variance granted May 2, 1984, with condition that his two lots be assembled, Mr. Kappa ex- plained that he could assembly property by having two permanent parcel numbers combined into one through the Cleveland Title Company;thus he would never be able to se11 lots separately. This is less expensive than assem- bling through the City which would require a survey. Mr. Kappa said Assis- tant City Engineer McDermott has no problem with this if the Board is in fagreemerit. Law Director Gareau stated that this has been done in the past, and since this is combining.the lots, there should be no problem, if he ?v were splitting the lot, it might create a problem. Mr. Bugala questioned if this deck conforms to code. The deck is under construction, however, the special permit is required only if a roof is constructed. Mr. Kappa is planning a lattice type roof attached to rafters. Footers are 18.inch concrete pilla"rs, only 1 foot deep. Building Commissioner Gundy stated that these are not sufficient for the lattice roof, but there would be no problem with just rafters. C. Remmel moved to grant the special permit for the covered deck providing it meets the qualifications of the Building De- partment, seconded liy R. Bugala, and unanimously approved. Mr. Kappa again questioned'if.he could combine the permanent parcel numbers instead of assembling the lot. Law Director Gareau suggested that the title com- pany call him regarding this situation_. Special permit granted. 5. Wayne Elias, 27491 Linwood Circle Request for variance (1133,13). Request 9' front set back variance for garage additione Violation of Ord. 62-33, Section 1159.01.

Mrs. Elias advised that the additional space will be a workshop, not a three car garage, and that ad- ding to the rear would not be possible. Two statements were submitted in favor of the variance, and a letter from Dr. Simko (now present) had pre- viously been submitted, objecting to the variance. E.
