the first floor for the parents. Her parents as they get older can not maneuver the stairs as they once could. Mrs: Diver reviewed that she visited the site and would not have an objection to a smaller addition but the current request is substantial. She questioned if the combined square footage of the shed and proposed addition exceeded lot coverage requirements. Mr. Rymarczyk aclvised that under current codes the owners would be allowed 120 sq ft for a shed and variances were previously granted for the existing shed. Mrs. Sergi questioned the two sets of plans which were submitted and questioned which were accurate. Mr. LaRussa reviewed that the owners first requested a family room and a covered porch however they now want a family room, master bedroom and covered porch. Therefore new plans were submitted showing the proposed covered porch as the master bedroom and the covered porch moved to the south side of the addition and will measure 22' x 14'. However the back/end of the proposed addition will be 38 feet from rear yard line. Board members asked for further clarification pertaining to whether or not there would or would not be a covered porch. Mr. Larussa advised that there would still be a covered porch it is just being relocated. Mrs. Sergi questioned if the proposed porch would be a covered porch or not as the plans dated October 20, 2006 shows the family room, bedroom and a porch to the south side which is not covered. Mr. LaRussa said that the south porch would be covered. Mrs. Sergi felt that it would be better served to have the bedroom moved to the south side of the proposed addition thereby eliminating the need for a variance. Board members also questioned if in fact the square footage of the covered porch along with the additions and existing shed exceeded allowable lot coverage. The board members voiced that accurate plans need to be submitted as neither set of plans is totally accurate. 1VIr. Burke asked Mr. LaRussa to review the North Olmsted Building Department permit application which he submitted showing total square footage for addition would be 336 square feet and total square footage for porch being 294 square feet and asked if the totals were accurate or not. Mr. LaRussa said the family room would be 336 square feet, and the porch will be 294 square feet. Mrs. Diver stated that the application was not accurate as the applicants now propose a total of 630 square feet for the home addition as well as an additional 280 square feet of covered porch. Board members again stated that new accurate plans needed to be submitted for the boards review. Mr. O'Malley adeised that the applicant is responsible to present accurate evidence as to what is being done and show their hardship and the board is within their right to request accurate documents be submitted. Mr. Bhnot voiced that he had no obj ections to the applicants request and requested the board grant the applicants variance. Mr. Maloney advised that the board was not satisfied with the plans which were submitted and would like an accurate application and set of plans showing what is being done. Mr. Rymarczyk advised that accurate plans in fact need to be submitted for the record but believed that what was being proposed would not exceed the allowable 25% lot coverage. N. Sergi moved to table Abedel & Muna Mustafa of 6167 Park Ridge Dr. their request for variance (1123.12), which consists of the addition of a family room until an accurate set of plans are submitted. M. Diver seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved. IV. NON-RESIDENTIAL APPEALS AND REQUESTS: 1. Levin Furniture; 23250 Lorain Road: (WRD #2) Request for variance (1123.12).
