but the structure should be no closer than 3 feet from the property line and fire retardant drywall used. All board members agreed with Mrs. Sergi that a 2 foot variance would be a reasonable compromise. Mrs. Diver asked Ms. Bontempo if she would agree to accept a 2 foot variance to place the garage 3 feet off the property line. Ms. Bontempo asked if it would make a difference if she only built a 1%2 car garage. Mr. Menser advised that it was not the size of the garage it is the placement which is a concern. Ms. Bontempo said she would agree to place the new garage as requested. N. Sergi moved to approve Patricia Bontempo of 23093 Clifford Drive her request for variance (1123.12), which consists of a new detached garage and the following variance is granted as amended and agreed upon: A 2 foot variance for a garage too close to side property line, (code requires 51, applicant shows 31). Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section (1135.02 (C2)). T. Kelly seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved. 6. John & Lvnda LaBianca; 27326 Nantucket Dr. (WRD # 3) Request for variance (1123.12). The proposal consists of a 3 season room and the following variance is requested: 1. A 14 foot variance for a residence too close to rear property line, (code requires 50', applicant shows 36'). Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section (1135.08 (a)). Mr.& 1VIrs. LaBianca the owners and Ms. Oliver a neighbor each came forward to be sworn in and address the request. Mr. LaBianca said they would like to have a three season room to enharice their home as their family has grown and they now have grandchildren. The backyard has no rieighbors as it abuts the North Olmsted High School and creek. The privacy fence leads people to think the property is smaller than what it truly is. They own an additional 20 feet of land beyond the fence. The fence was installed to ensure the grandchildren could not access the creek: Mrs. LaBianca presented photos to the board to see the rear area behind the fence. Ms. Oliver said she was present to support her neighbors and has no objections to the request. Mr. Conway said the building department had no objections to the request. Ms. Sergi did not feel the governmental services would be affected. The spirit and intent would be served in granting the variance. The neighborhood would not be altered or adversely affected by the addition. The variance looks substantial but there is additional land beyond the fence which can not be used. N. Sergi moved to approve John & I,ynda LaBianca of 27326 Nantucket Drive their request. for variance (1123.12), which consists of a 3 season room and the following variance is granted: A 14 foot variance for a residence too close to rear property line, (code requires 50', applicant shows 361).

Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section (1135.02 (D1)). Mr. & Mrs. Laurent the owners each came forward to be sworn in and address the request. Mr. Laurent said he would like to replace the existing 10' x 10' shed with a 10' x 14' shed. His garage does not have enough room to store their tools. They spoke to all their neighbors and they have all signed a letter stating they have no objections. The height of the shed will be 3 inches higher than the existing shed due to the pitch.
