A 280 sq. ft. variance for a storage/work building larger than code allows; code permits 200 sq. ft., applicant shows 480 sq. ft., Section 1135.02(d)(1). 2.

Deck in rear of existing barn must be removed. The oath was administered to Douglas Baldi. Mr. Baldi said his home is 100 years old and the barn is an actual barn without flooring. The wood shop can't be attached to the home due to its age and layout. The addition will not adversely impact the character of the neighborhood nor will it be seen from the right of way. Mr. Russell said he had no objection to the request. Ms. Bellido said she was first concerned about the historic nature of the property; however the applicant went before Landmarks and received a Certificate of Appropriateness. Mr. Baldi said there were two styles presented and the one before the BZA is the style Landmarks approved. Mr. Allain asked how many storage buildings were on the lot and Mr. Baldi said the only other storage unit was the barn. Mr. Allain questioned the height of the workshop and Mr. Baldi said the height is due to the style Landmarks chose. Board members felt the look fit the neighborhood, would not be seen and the lot was large enough to accommodate the workshop. Ms. Bellido moved, seconded by Ms. Rudolph, to grant the following variances for CMS 14- 08: Douglas & Virginia Baldi of 26706 Butternut Ridge Rd: 1. A 280 sq. ft. variance for a storage/work building larger than code allows; code permits 200 sq. ft., applicant shows 480 sq. ft., Section 1135.02(d)(1).
