Jolul Hoffinan, representing Rosie Jenne, and neighbors Bob Trapp; Ken Felleisen, Fred Hatton and Marty Juhn came forward to review the request. Mr. Hoffinan indicated the proposal is to build a new home and the variances are needed since the lot is small. Mr. Felleisen questioned if the property would be rental. Mr. Hoffinan replied that the house would be sold; it would not be rented. Mr. Gomersall questioned who Rosie Jenne was. Mr. Hoffinan indicated she was owner of a few properties off of Lorain in North Olmsted. Mr. Trapp questioned who the existing owner was and who would be the new owner. Mr. Hoffinan indicated that once the house is built it would be sold. Mr. Trapp produced a parcel map of all the abutting properties and asked for clarification of what certain lines represented. Mr. Rymarczyk indicated Mr. Trapp needed to speak with the Engineering Department. Mr. Trapp is concerned since the property, which is presently vacant, is directly across the street from his property. Mr. Trapp indicated the property with the car wash is landlocked and that over the past three years there have been numerous attempts to gain access by going through other properties. In recent years there had been some mention of rezoning the property, as well. Mr. Trapp questioned what would happen if the applicant chose not to build a house and the property was sold and a driveway to a commercial property is put in. Mr. Trapp questioned the intentions of an owner next door to the post office. Mr. Gomersall questioned if the owner could put in driveway. Mr. Rymarczyk indicated there are no plans for it to be commercial and have a driveway put in. Mr. Trapp questioned if the car wash and the beverage store were commercial. Mr. Rymarczyk indicated that since the businesses are located on Lorain Road, they would most likely be commercial. Mr. Gomersall indicated anything could happen and the Board can not speculate what is to happen in the future. Mr. Konold indicated that Mr. Trapp could not stop rezoning if it were to happen. Mr. Trapp indicated he is only making his concerns known. Mr. Gomersall indicated the applicants would be asking to build a house if they were planning on putting in a driveway. The property would need to be rezoned. Mr. Maloney indicated that the Board could only address what is before them now in this proposal, which would be a house. Mr. Trapp questioned what he could do if the Board approves the building of the house. Mr. Gomersall
