.? • what tlus board can do is grant you a temporary sign uutil the total size is resolved for the building. Mr. Koberna asked what kind of temporary sign would be granted. Mr. Gomersall suggested a banner that would comply with the building departments requirements. All members agreed that a temporary sign would be best. Mr. Gomersall indicated we need to address Giant Eagles and Star Banks sign packages for this building at the same time. Mr. Gareau suggested this case be tabled so no additional fees would have to be paid, and allow Star Bank to have a banner until a complete package is reviewed. Mr. Conway indicated the building department has been requiring banners to have some kind of wood frame to hold it taunt so it is not flapping in the wind. No further questions were asked. J. Konold moved to grant Star Bank of 4700 Great Northern Blvd. A temporary sign that would be agreeable to the building department be issued to Star Bank until Criant Eagle submits their sign package. This will table Star Banks sign package request until Giant Eagle submits their sign package. The motion was seconded by J. Kremzar, and unanimously approved. Sign package tabled, and temporary sign granted. 13. Clark Merrill; 3580 Huuter Drive: Request for variance (1123.12). Request a variance to permit a 6' ft Board on board fence in the required front set back. Fence extends 13' ft 4" Inches into the required front set-back of home, and the first house on the abutting side street. (House is non-conformin.g being built facing Hunter, but the required front set back is on Doe Drive.) Violation of Ord. 90-125, Section 1135.02 (F-1) Wluch prolubits any fence higher than thirty (30) inches and less than 50% open in a required front set back, between the front building liue and the street line. Note: A vaxiance was granted in Ju1y, 1994 for a 4' Ft High fence extending 25' ft Iuto the set back. (6' ft Was denied). Fence was never built. A fence was built in 1983 with a permit (#22043). The plot plan submitted was even with the front building line paralleling doe and was a combination of 5' ft& 6' ft In height. It didn't extend into the required set back. Chairman Gomersall called all interested parties before the board. The oath was admini.stered to Mr. Brilla, and Mr. Wood. A fax indicating Mr. Merrill's request for the board.to allow Mr. Brilla, and Mr. Wood to present his case to the board as he is out of town on business was reviewed. Mr. Gomersall stated for the record a letter was received from a resident who is opposed to this request. Mr. Gomersall reviewed the variances and indicated Mr. Merrill has akeady put the 6' ft fence up. Mr. Brilla indicated he lives right next to Mr. Merrill and the Merrills fence abuts his property. Mr. Brilla has no objections to Mr. Merrills fence. Mr. Conway suggested the fence is actually in Mr. Brillas front yard, so he would be effected. Mr. Gomersall ask what Mr. Brilla had to say about the fence. Mr. Brilla suggested he doesn't have a problem with the current fence, but was against the red wood picket fence that was 5' or 6' feet tall which was removed previously as it was an eye sore. Mr. Gomersall suggested by code he cannot have that fence there it would have to be right across his line. Speaking on Mr. Merrill's behalt Mr. Wood indicated the only reason for coming that far out with the fence was because the house was built on a variance, and there isn't that much square footage to give his kids to play in the backyard. Mr. Merrill really doesn't have any backyard per se, so he built the fence to contain his children. Mr. Gomersall indicated he was sorry but, that was bad thinking on Mr. Merrills part. Mr. Wood indicated his home is right aeross the street from the Merrll's properiy. Speaking on behalf of Mr. Merrill, Mr. Wood suggested when the last application was applied for the board did.n't send as many notices out as they did this time. Mr. Wood suggested he had spoken to the neighbors on the left and right of his house and no one that could visually see the fence had a problem with it, as Mr. Merrill asked the neighbors if they were concerned. Mr. Wood agreed with Mr. Brilla regarding the old fence that was previously up, this looks a lot better and has 9 ?
