He expZa.ined th?t his elient..wishes to operate a first-class restauraast si.milar to the one noW in operation on Detroit Road and to be known as Elzonats Red Carpet Inn. The buiIding is non-conforming in that it is set back 371 instead of the required 501. Their pIan is to add to the width of the pr.esent builciing since they feel that to move t,he new addition back 504 would detract from the appearance since-it would not be even wi.th the existing front. They maintain that this wc>uId result in an undesirable 121 area that would.be a cateh-a11 for debris9 papers, etc. blowing down the street. P5.irthurc?ore, Mr. Fedor mainta.ins that the acldition would conform to the height,,coverage a.n6 use reguirements and that there is no mention of setback in the codeo He feels that absence of the word setback in the ordinance means that setback is.riot a. require- ment unaer Section 1231.02 (B) in regards to granting of a special permi.t for an acldition to a nonconforming building. The addition would eonfonm in all other respects. Mr. McIntyre, representing Mr. ganzes, stated that he recozarneMds that a permit be granted.
