1. A 27 foot variance for rear yard setback (code requires 50 ft., applicant shows 23 ft.), section " (1135.08 (a)). Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section (1135.08 (a)) and (1165.02). Chairman Maloney called all interested parties forward to review the request. Mrs. Mary Jane Kneeland, and contractor Bob Zielinski,-came forward to be sworn in. 1V1rs. Kneeland indicated they want to add on to their home because her husband is wheelchair-bound and as -it stands now he cannot maneuver the wheelchair. Mr. Zielinski pointed out that the house is in an area of North Olmsted where the house is actually encroaching on the rear setback requirement already. This is an existing structure that they are extending by 2 ft. The owners believe the 2 ft. will give Mr. Kneeland more maneuverability. J. Konold made a motion to grant Mary Jane Kneeland of 25077 Deerfield her request for variance (1123.12), which consists of an addition and that the following variances be granted: A special permit to add to a non-conforming building (1165.02). 1. A 27 foot variance for rear yard setback (code requires 50 ft., applicant shows 23 ft.), section,. (1135.08 (a)). - Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section (1135.08 (a)) and (1165.02). The motion was seconded by W. Kremzar and unanimously approved. Variances granted. 5. Rich and Janet Turchek; 23411 Woodview Drive (3YRD-2) Request for variance (1123.12). The proposal consists of replacing existing detached garage. The following variances are requested: " 1. A 3 foot var.iance for side yard setback (code requires 5 ft., applicant shows 2 ft.) 2. An 8 foot variance for rear yard setback (code requires 10 ft., applicant shows 2 ft.) Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section (1135.02 (c)(2)). Chairman Maloney called all interested parties forward to review the request. Rich and Janet Turchek, contractor pon D'Amico, and neighbor Lotus Yee, came forward to be sworn in. Mr. Turchek said they would like to replace their one car garage with a two car garage. The current garage is about a car length from the house and they would like to move it back. If they go to a two car garage as it is set up now, they would not be able to make the turn from the right hand spot. Mr. Kremzar asked if they would then be just 2 ft. from the rear line. Mr. Turchek confirmed that. Mr. Maloney said he is concerned about being that close because of maintenance and drainage. He asked if there will be gutters. Mr. D'Ainico indicated there will be and water will go into the sewers. He referred to the drawings. He said the 30 ft. from the house is the minimum standard when doing a layout for a two car garage because there is a 16 ft. car length and they need almost double that to make the turn from the right side to the driveway, which is 9 ft. wide. He said it could be compromised some but any distance that is compromised by moving the garage toward the house makes it that much more difficult to access the second bay in the garage. They are trying to keep it lined up with the driveway as' well. Mr. Konold asked how far they have to tap into the water line. Mr. D'Amico indicated it is 27-30 ft. Nlrs. Yee said her property is right behind the applicant's. She is concerned about the maintenance of the sewer system. She wondered if it would interfere with a repairman having to come in since it would be 2 ft, away from the property line. Mr. Kremzar asked if there is an easement back there. Mr. D'Ainico said there is not an easement as far as he knows. The sewers are 22 ft. from the property line and would actually be accessed from the driveway. Mrs. Yee reviewed the plans with the applicants. Mr. Konold commented it would be quite an improvement. J. Konold made a motion to grant Rich and Janet Turchek of 23411 Woodview Drive their request for variance (1123.12), which consist of replacing existing detached garage and that the following variances be granted: 4
