coinpleted inside the store and sponsor pet adoptions. Mr. Burlce requested clarification of the variance required. Mr. Rymarczylc reviewed that the applicant required a variance for the center being less than 700 feet from a dwelling. The applicants do not require a special permit they jttst require a variance for the structure being less than 700 feet from a dwelling. Board members questioned why the pet store had to be 700 feet from a dwelling. Mr. O'Malley reviewed that the pet store use was not prohibited but by code must not be located within 700 feet of a dwelling. The code was written to limit bordering or lceruieling animals, dog runs, animal hospitals and things of that nature being close to residential neighborhoods, but the current wording of the code includes pet stores in the limitation. Mr. Rymaiczylc reviewed that the entire center is taken into consideration when calculating the proximity of the pet store to a dwelling. He's not sure how close the pet store itself would be to a dwelling but believes it would be less than 700 feet. Mr. O'Malley suggested the board restrict the applicants from bordering or lcenneling animals, having dog runs, any outdoor storage, selling or housing farm or other wild animals and limit the business to be confined to the wholly enclosed building. J. Burlce moved to grant PETCO of 27420 I,orain Road their request for varilnce (1123.12), which consists of a pet supply store and the following variance is granted as amended: 1. A variance for pet supply store being located less than 700 feet from a dwelling, (code requires 700 ft, applicant shows less than 700). Petco is restricted fa-om bordering or Icenneling animals, having clog runs, any outdoor storage, selling or housing farm or other wild animals and the business is to be eonfined to the wholly enclosed building. Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section (1139.01 (B) (4G)). N. Sergi seconded the motion which was unanimously approved. V. COMMUNICATIONS: Mr. Maloney read aloud Building Commissioner Conway's memo advising that the owner of 5560 Coluinbia Road would lilce to locate his storage building which was granted a variance in September 2005, 15-feet to the east. The structure would still be over 300 feet from his home and the existing trees would be preserved and the new location would obstruct the view of the building from the neighbors. Mr. O'Malley advised the board that they could request the applicant return for further review, deny the structure from being moved or approve the request. Mrs. Sergi questioned if the building department had any objections to the shed moving. Mr. Rymarczyk advised that the building department had no abjections to moving the shed as there would still be trees to buffer the shed fi•om view. After a brief discussion of the matter board members voicecl that they had no objections to the request.
