BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS MARCH 7, 1984 PAGE 2 for years. Mr. Bugala stated that he saw no need for a 6' fence regard- less. R. Bugala moved to grant the 1' variance for the fence, seconded by C. Remmel. Roll call on motion: Bugala, Graves, Horvath, and Remmel, Nay. Motion failed to pass. Variance denied. 4. Edward J. Newell, 31040 Lorain Rd. Request special permit (front set back) for change of occupancy_ (interior alteration from residential to commercial). Special permission required Ord. 62-33, Section 1231.02 B-3. Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. Wright, contractor, Mr. Newell, owner, and Mrs. Schubart, the neighbor to the rear. It was explained that there would be interior alterations only for a sales office in what is now a residential house. Parking will be in the-rear; wooded area will not be disturbed at present. Mrs. Schubert was not aware that Lorain Rd. was zoned for com- mercial use. It was explained to her that the special permit is necessary only because of the 46' front set back and that zoning is proper. She is opposed to the special permit. E. Graves moved to grant the special permit for Mr. Newell, 31040 Lorain Rd., seconded by L. Horvath, and unanimously approved. Special permit granted. 5. Fairview West Partners, LTD, 24700 Lorain Rd. Request for variance (1133.13). Request variance to install 2 ground signs on property (no pole sign planned). Violation of Ord. 62-33, Section 1221.06 B-2.

The Board believes that Council should have communicated this information directly to them,.not just through the minutes. C.

Chairman Reuunel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. Morrow and his contractor, Mr. Gemmi. Request will have to be amended since plans shows a smaller second floor. Garage will conform to architecture of house and will contain cars now stored in drive. A letter had been submitted from Metro-parks stating that they had no objections. It was pointed out that this structure is as large as some houses and that there is no exact height shown on plans (approximately 22' to 24' high). It would seem garage would be opposite house next door (belonging to Mr. Boss). Mr. Morrow stated garage would be beyond the house and thought that this was a new structure (not a house) that is being built. Law Director Gareau suggested that case could be coritinued and that
