BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS AUGUST 1, 1984 PAGE 3 " Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. M. Kennedy of Clark Oil', who explained that this request is identical to a previous variance which was granted by the Board in 1982 and has expired. It was explained to Mr. Kennedy that recently the Board has been denying these variances and that Council has been un- able to pass legislation setting guidelinesfor canopies. Members agree that such legislation is needed. Mr. Bugala stated fhat many stations are nowasking for different set back variances for these canopies and there is no uniformity and there has to be some standards. Mr. Kennedy stated that if he is being denied a variance, that there is no way they could install a canopy which would conform to the 50' building set - back (station was built in 1969 and pump islands did not have to conform to 50' set back). He pointed out that his station could not be competa- tive with other stations which do have canopies. Mr,. Kennedy was ad- vised that if his variance is denied, he could return to the Board with adifferent set back request, however, he could not request this exact variance again for another year. R. Bugala moved to approve the 42'6" front set back variance for Clark Oil Co., seconded by E. Graves. Roll call on motion: Bugala, Graves, Helon,.Nay. -Remmel, Aye. Motion failed to pass. Variance denied. 8. Roman Gardens, 4036 Brendan Lane Request for variance (1133.13). Request variance to place dumpsters in front yard. Violation of Ord. 62-33, Section 1125.76. Chairman Remmel:"called all int.erested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr: Noe and Mrs. Krammer of Roman Gardens, and neigh- bors, R. Beach, Mr. & Mrs. Strnad, J. Leonard, Mr. Plecha, D. Cav, Mr: and Mrs.-Kerr, Mr: & Mrs. Ferenz and H. Mulhollan. Neighbors submitted names and addresses to condominium representatives.. Mr. Noe explained that they had been directed by the EPA to discontinue using incinerators, and area behind garages (facing David Drive) is only place they feel is access- ible. They nlan to screen them with Pyramidal Arborvitae. Neighbors want dumpsters moved, not screened,,because of their looks and offensive odor. Neighbors claim there was a fire in one previously. Mr. Graves ; questioned why dumpsters cannot be relocated somewhere within the complex; ?V' he found at.least_five places he thinks dumnsters could be relocated. Mr. Noe'stated that there are no other places that would not interfer with traffic or which would be convenient for trucks servicing them. It was suggested that a compactor for each building would eliminate the problem. Condominium is trying to make arrangements for City to pick up on tree lawn, but no arrangements have been made as yet'. This would mean putting trash bags on tree lawn which could possibly look worse. E. Graves moved to grant the Roman Gardens the variance that they requested, seconded by C. Remmel. Roll call on motion: Graves, Remmel, Bugala, and Helon, Nay. Motion failed to pass. Variance denied. Mr. Noe asked how long they had to remove dumpsters. C. Remmel moved to allow 10 days to remove dumpsters from present location, seconded by J. Helon, and unanimously -approved. 9. Marathon Petroleum Co., Lorain and Butternut Ridge.
