1. A.82 acre variance for lot area zoning code requirements, (code requires 1.5 acres applicant shows 0:683). 2. A 20 foot variance for lot width zoning code requirements, (code requires 150 ft, applicant shows 130 ft). Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section (1139.06) Mr. Romp, the owner, Mr. Siperke, the CEO of Chiswick Breweries, and Mr. Cole the Manager of Operations each came forward to be sworn in and address the request. Mr. Romp advised that he believed the variances were for the use not meeting the square footage of the lot. The building will now be used as a restaurant with brewery. The lot is a landlocked pie shape which has an easement for parking spaces and ingress/egress. Mr. Siperke reviewed that it is a full restaurant with a brewery for on site consumption. Mrs. Sergi felt that the restaurant would be a good use for the building and believed that any business would not be able to meet the lot area requirements. Mrs. Diver questioned if there was sufficient parking. Mr. Conway advised that the Planning & Design Commission addressed parking for the entire plaza and more than enough parking is being provided. Mr. O'Malley said the board only need address area variances pertaining to lot size dimensions required for the restaurant and requested the board require the easements be submitted to the Law Department for review in their motion. Mrs. Sergi asked what the hours of operations would be. Mr. Cole advised that they would be open for lunch and dinner. Ms. Sergi believed that the restaurant was a welcome addition which would not adversely affect the neighborhood. There would not be a detriment to the area caused by the variances. Government services would not be an issue. Mr. Burke felt that the spirit and intent of the code would be observed and a substantial justice would be done by granting the variances. Board members did not believe the lot could be used without variances due to the size and shape of the lot. T. Kelly moved to grant Aviator Ale Works of 24581 Lorain Road their request for variance (1123.12), which consists of a restaurant and the following variances, are granted as amended: 1. A.82 acre variance for lot area zoning code requirements, (code requires 1.5 acres applicant shows 0.683). 2. A 20`foot variance for lot width zoning code requirements, (code requires 150 ft, applicant shows 130 ft). Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section (1139.06). The applicant is to submit a copy of the cross aecess easement documents to the Law Department for review. M. Diver seconded the motion; which was unanimously approved. IV. REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES: • The minutes for March 26, 2007 are submitted for approval. Mr. Burlce requested the clerk re-listen to the tapes of March 26, 2007 as he felt that the minutes should xeflect who was specifically speaking when the members were addressing the 7 factors of each case addressed. Mr. O'Malley reviewed that the clerk does not transcribe minutes verbatim but summarizes the business of the board and the actions taken. If the board feels that the minutes and findings accurately reflect what accrued then they should be adopted as submitted. However if the board feels that the tapes should be reviewed to edit the minutes then the board can table their minutes so the clerk can amend the minutes as requested. Mr: Bu'rlce said he wanted the minutes tabled and the clerk to review the entire meeting again and reflect who is doing the deliberating when the 7 factors are being addressed. • Board Of Zoning Appeals Order Of Findings of March 26, 2007 7
