He's spolcen to his abutting neighbors and the only comment he heard was that the posts were visible to the public. He will install the fence so that the posts are facing inside his yard. Ms. Rudolph aslced if the style of new fence would match the existing and Mr. Coleman said yes, only difference is the new will be stained.

Ms. Rudolph said she had no objections as the owner was inatching the existing fence and replacing sections which need to be replaced due to damage.

COIVIMERCIAL APPEALS AND REQLTESTS APP14-1096: Auto Wash; 27100 Lorain Itoad: Proposal consists of building and site improvements. A variance to add/alter a non-conforming building is requested; section 1165.02(b). The following variances are requested: 1. A variance for 2 additional ground signs; a variance was previously granted for 2 ground signs and 2 additional "pay here" signs are being added for a total of 4 ground signs, section 1163.27(a). 2. A 31.41 square foot variance for total sign face area on a lot is required, this includes a previous 20sq.ft. Variance granted; section 1165.25(b). 3. A 6 foot west side yard setbaclc variance is required, code requires 10 ft., applicant shows 4ft; section 1139.07. The oath was administered to owner Jason Laver. He said the improvements are for the continued use of the site as an auto wash. They are modifying the exterior of the building to give it a more modern loolc. The existing roof line will be enclosed to provide a more comfortable worlcing area for employees. There will be automated point of purchase machines along the back of the building which includes an interactive video screen to choose wash options. As the automated pay machines are considered ground signs a variance for 2 additional ground signs is needed. Ms. Rudolph questioned the side yard setback variance required. Mr. Laver said the expansion is mainly to the south and north ends of the building, the variance for the west elevation is an existing condition. Board members felt the size of the lot is such that it doesn't lend itself to improvements without variance. The proposed alterations are a welcomed improvement to the site.
