BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS AUGUST 3, 1983 PAGE 4 there is approximately a 50' grass buffer on both sides of Brookpark. After . the addition there would be a 15' set back along Brookpark Road. Mr. Bugala stated that it should be taken into consideration that the limited access restriction may be taken off Brookpark. Addition cannot be built to rear without moving all mechanical equipment in the rear of building, and the store would also have to be closed from 3 to 6 months if this were done. Mr. Richland objected on the basis that this addition would obscure view to Great Northern's adjacent vacant property. Mr. Remmel stated that all properties along Brookpark Road would want to encroach into the set back areas. Law Director Gareau stated that the Board is just deciding on this one parcel, and that it is unique since it has frontage on both streets. Addition cannot be added to front because the owners of the shopping center will not agree to it. C. Remmel moved to grant the variance, seconded by R. Bugala. Roll call on motion: Remmel, Bugala, and Graves, Nay. Horvath, Aye. Motion failed to pass. Variance denied. -- Mr. Drager asked the Board for a ruling if there is such a thing as two front yards. Mr. Gundy stated that a through lot is a lot with frontage on two streets, the code does not specify that there has to be access onto both streets. Mr. Draeger stated that if this were a regular lot with frontage on Lorain Rd. only, and the Brookpark frontage were considered a rear yard, they could reduce their addition and conform to rear yard requirements in a general retail area. Mr. Drager still maintained,that a through lot would seem to mean that you can go from one street to another. Mr. Gundy stated that this is not specified in the code. Mr. Rini stated that they would like to up- date their 22 year old store. It was repeated that they can add on to the front or the back as far as the City is concerned. 9.
