Mr. Stratos, the owner, came forward to be sworn in and address his request. Mr. Maloney invited the applicant to explain why the deck was erected without a permit. Mr. Stratos suggested that the building department informed him that a building permit is not required as long as the deck is not attached to the building. Once the buildina department explained what was required, he applied for Planning Commission and for his variances. Mr. Kremzar questioned when the handi-cap parking would be added. Mr. Stratos indicated that he would be putting in the handi-cap parking right away. Discussion of signs placed on the light pole and who owns the light pole took place. Mr. Rymarczyk believed that the sign is in the right-of-way but it would be up to the Service Department to make a ruling. Mr. Stratos commented that if he is not allowed to put sians on the light pole he would remove them. The parking variance is really a seasonal one as the deck will only be used on good weather days. Mr. Kremzar questioned if any parking were removed to erect the deck. Mr. Stratos indicated that no parking was removed to accommodate the deck. Mr. Maloney commented that due to the additional seating on the deck, an increase in parking spaces is required. W.
