Request for variance (1133.13) to build a home at 4316 Brendan Lane, North Olmsted, (corner lot) which will be 101 from Reed Avenue. Request is for 15' variance. Request is in violation of #62-33, Section 1159.02, which requires minimum setback on the street upon which the side of the house faces shall be 25'. Mr. Alex Franklin was present. Mr. Voldrich, 4303 Brendan Lane, and Mr. Weiskittle, 4291 Brendan Lane, were present and voiced their objection to this variance. They said the proposed house's location vrould detract from the appearance of the neighborhood and also obstruct vision for traffic and be a hazard for the pupils of Sto Brendan's School. Mr. Greene read com- munications from John Rieoer, 4267 Brendan Lane, and Iv1r. and A4rs. Steve Demko, 4315 Brendan Lane, stating their objections. Mr. Scheeff made a motion to deny this variance. Second by NSr. I'delson. Carried. Mr. Greene announced that since the .Rev. Mre Canfield of the North Olmsted Assembly of God Church was now present, the Board would hear his request for permit. Mr. Greene read a petition with 25 signatures of various people in the neighborhood who were against having this permit granted. The Rev. Mr. Canfield stated that in his opinion churches do not downgrade residential areas. At the present time his church has only 3 services per week; that the dwelling would only be used temporarily for church services and that they hoped to begin construction in early 1967 of a new church and the present house would then be used as a parsonage. Mr. Norbert Fox spoke for the people in the area and presented various objections to the permit, such as parking problems, maintenance, noise, etc. He said there were other churches in the area and one in particular did not make any improvements to its property and he felt there should be no more dwellings used for this purpose. Mr. Gundy stated that churches may have permissive use in a single residen- tial district but subject to this hearing and recommendations of the Board. This hearing is not for the purpose of rezoning or variance. Mrs. Hodges referred the Board to the map regarding the proposed Route 252, on which the new church building would face. Mr. Greene read Section 1133.12 of the Zoning Ordinance Code governing this request. The Rev. Mr. Canfield replied that no one could fulfill these requirements, but they would cer- tainly try. Mr. Gundy remarked that they were only seeking approval for use of the existing dwelling now and that future plans would have to be submitted before new construction could begina Mr. Scheeff said there were too many contingencies in this matter and he made a motion to con- tinue the hearing until the Rev. Pfr. Canfield could make siteplans avail- able to the Boarde The Rev. Mr. Canfield said he would do so and Mr. Nelson made a second to this motion. Carried. 4.
