4. Marv Frances Ink- 23044 Marion Road; Request for variance (1123.12). The proposal consists of a new detached garage. The following variances are requested: 1. A 9 foot variance for a detached garage too close to a residence (code requires 15 ft., applicant shows 6 ft.), section (1135.02 (c)(2)). 2. A 3 foot variance for a detached garage too close to an adjacent dwelling (code requires 15 ft., applicant shows 12 ft.), section (1135.02 (c)(2)). 3. A 3.5 foot variance for a detached garage too close to side property line (code requires 5 ft., applicant shows 1.5 ft.), section (1135.02 (c)(2)). 4. A 2 foot variance for the depth of a detached garage (code requires 20 ft., applicant shows 18 ft.), section (1135.02 (c)). Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 sections (1135.02 (c)(2) and (1135.02 (c)). Chairman Maloney called all interested parties forward to review their request. Mr. Formoso with ASAP Construction Company came forward to be sworn in and address the request. Mr. Formoso indicated that the owner would like to replace the existing garage with a new one and maintain the sideyard distance but bring it closer to the home. The new garage would only be 18' x 18' to fit her Volts Wagon car. If the garage is allowed closer to the home there will be fire rated drywall used. Mr. Maloney suggested that an 18' x 18' garage would not benefit the property. Mr. Formoso suggested he reviewed that a 20' x 20' garage would better suite the homeowner but she only wants an 18' x 18' garage. Mr. Conway commented that not one variance requested is needed for this site. There is enough room on the site to accommodate a 20' x 20' garage. He suggested the owner of the home build an attached garage. Mr. Formoso questioned if the building commissioner was suggesting an attached garage or just placing the garage next to the home. Mr. Conway remarked that the request does not show a hardship as the owner's land can accommodate a detached garage as well as an attached garage. He further suggested that the smaller garage could cost the owner more as most of the framing is pre- constructed and it would have to be cut down to accommodate the size. Mr. Formoso indicated that he would like to discuss the issue with the homeowner and requested the proposal be tabled. W. Kremzar motioned to table Mary Frances Ink of 23044 Marion Road. J. Konold seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved. Proposal Tabled. 5. Gavril & Veronica Budai; 28406 N. Park Drive; Request for variance (1123.12). The proposal consists of a new shed. The following variance is requested: 1. A 16 square foot variance for a shed larger than code permits (code permits 200 sq. ft., applicant shows 216 sq. ft.). Note: Shed was erected with no permit. Homeowner states they were not aware that a permit was necessary. Which is in violation of Ord. 90-125 section (1135.02 (d)(1)). Chairman Maloney called all interested parties forward to review their request. Mr. & Mrs. Budai the owners came forward to be sworn in and address the request. Mrs. Budai suggested that they had an existing shed, which needed replacing. They were not aware that a permit is required to erect a shed and after the shed was completed, they found out that the shed constructed is larger than code allows for their lot. Mr. Maloney reviewed that the City Engineers letter states that gutters need to be added and the drains could splash onto the yard. However, only if they are placed farthest from the north property line (i.e. the south side of the shed). Mr. Conway suggested making the downspout requirement part of the motion. 3
