14 Daniel & Martha McKav: 5586 Whitehaven: Request for variance (1123.12). Proposal consists of an above ground swimming pool and additional deck and rails. The following variance is required: A 21% variance for rear yard coverage, (code pernuts 20% or 745.2sq ft, existing garage is 520sq ft, existing deck 400sq ft, plus proposed pool & deck 130sq ft= 1050sq ft or 304.8sq ft over). Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section (113,5.02 d 2). Chairman Gomersall called all interested parties forward, and reviewed the variances requested. Mr. & Mrs. McKay, and Mrs. Csornok a concerned neighbor came forward. Mr. Gomersall suggested the property was being over built. Mr. McKay suggested a variance was granted last year for the deck and garage. Mr. Gomersall suggested the existing deck was huge and adding a pool would be too much. Mr. McKay suggested the dimensions of the deck were wrong, and they had gotten the smallest pool they could which is 10'foot. Mrs. Csornok suggested she was against the pool being added as she had stated in the letter. Mr. Konold asked if there could be a compromise. Mr. McKay suggested the only other thing that could be done is to remove some of the existing deck. Mrs. Csornok suggested when the garage was built the drain was supposed to drain one way and they tied it into our drain until the building department made them change the hookup. She would like to know how the drainage will be addressed for the pool. Mr. Gomersall suggested the only thing that could be done is to remove some of the deck. Mrs. McKay indicated they could remove part of the deck to accommodate the pool. They had not planed on a pool when they built the deck. Mrs. Csornok suggested she thought the McKay's planed the deck, garage, and pool before they purchased the house. Mr. Gomersall suggested that was not an issue, and all the board members had read Mrs. McKay's comments. Mr. McKay asked how much of the deck would need to be removed. Mr. Gomersall suggested removing 7'feet of the deck and incorporate the pool into the deck. Mr. McKay suggested he could remove enough deck for the pool. Mrs. Csornok asked if the tree in the back yard would have to come out. Mrs. McKay suggested the pool would not effect the existing tree. Mrs. McKay suggested they could remove part of the deck. Mr. Gomersall suggested cutting back 10'feet. Mr. McKay suggested he could cut the deck. He would need to know how fare out from the house the pool would be allowed. Mr. Gomersall suggested it not be more than 23'feet from the back of the house to the furthest end of the pool. Mr. McKay suggested he could work with the board and remove some of the deck. Mr. Conway reviewed that the end of the pool would not exceed 23'feet. Mr. Gomersall asked if Mrs. Csornok had any further comments. Mrs. Csomok indicated she was still against the pool and didn't feel that the board should allow the variance to people that had lied to the board members in the past. Mr. Gomersall suggested the board could only address issues before them at the present meeting. No further questions were asked. R. Gomersall motioned to grant Daniel & Martha McKay of 5586 Whitehaven their request for variance (1123.12). Their proposal with the agreed upon changes to read as follows: The pool is to be incorporated into the existing deck and not to exceed 23'feet (deck and pool) from the house. The pool will be slid into the deck so that 23'feet is not exceeded. A rear, yard lot coverage will not be needed as the applicant will be within the square footage granted for the deck. Which was in violation of Ord. 90-125 section (1135.02 d 2). In the framing of the motion Mr. Conway suggested the exact wording would be available for the boards review at the next regularly scheduled meeting. The motion was seconded by W. Kremzar and unanimously approved. Variances Granted. MEETING ADJOURNED: R. Gomersall adjourned the meeting at 10:00p.m. Chairman, Robert Gomersall Clerk of Commissions, D. Rote 10
