Jim Monck; 23433 Woodview Dr :(WRD 2) Request for variance (1123.12). The proposal consists of a new garage. The following variance is requested: 1). A 3 foot variance for a detached garage too close to a residence, (code requires 15', applicant shows 12'). Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section; (1135.02 (C1)). Mr. Monck the owner and Mr. Masek, the contractor, each came forward to be sworn in and address the request. Mr. Masek reviewed that the rear yard is only 50 feet deep and code requires a detached garage to be 10-feet off the rear property line. The garage is 20-feet deep and there is a three season room 8-feet deep and places the garage 12-feet off the patio. North Olmsted fire codes say 15-feet from home even though state codes state 10-feet from home. Therefore, his client needs a 3-foot variance. Mr. Kremzar indicated that the garage walls would have to be treated with fire rated drywall in accordance to city codes. Mr. Monck stated that the proposed garage was aluminum and would not burn, so he does not know why drywall would be needed. Mr. O'Malley suggested that the board if permitting the variance state the variance was permitted as long as the structure meets City Fire and Building Codes. Mr. Monck submitted a letter from his neighbor allowing his drains to run to the neighbor's property. He advised that the Engineering Department requested the letter. _ N. Sergi moved to grant Jim Monck of 23433 Woodview Dr his request for variance (1123.12), which consists of a new garage and that the following variance is granted as amended: 1). A 3 foot variance for a detached garage too close to a residence, (code requires 151, applicant shows 121). Note: Any section of the detached garage that is to close to the structure must have fire rated drywall on the interior 15 feet away. Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section; (1135.02 (C1)). M. Diver seconded the motion which was unanimously approved. "Variance Granted" 8. Target/Sign Lite; 24646 Brookpark Road: (WRD 4) Request for variance (1123.12). The proposal consists of a wall signs. The following variance is requested: 1. A variance for 3 wall signs on a building, (code permits 1, applicant shows 3). Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section (1163.27 A). Note: 1). Total signage on the lot not available with this application. 2). BZA postponed this request on 7/7/05 as there were not enough members present to vote. Mrs. Diver excused herself from discussion of the proposal as she is an abutting homeowner. Mr. Bizjak, with the Sign Company, Mr. Schiely the Architect, Councilman McKay, and Mrs. Diver each came forward to be sworn in and address the request. Mr. Bizjak indicated that his client was requesting two additional wall signs. As there is a pharmacy in the building they would like to have a pharmacy sign as well as the target logo on the south side of the building facing Brookpark Road. The total square footage of the three signs is very minimal and will not have an adverse impact on neighboring properties. Mrs. Sergi questioned if all Target stores had pharmacies. Mr. Bizjak stated that it was a standard thing to have a pharmacy sign when they have a pharmacy. The majority of Targets have pharmacies in their buildings. Councilman McKay requested that no additional signs be approved. The applicants presented the proposal to the city disclosing there would be only one wall sign and now that the development is 12 of 16
