to Mr. Robertson. Mr. Robertson answered "no", he suggested this was putting him in a tough situation as Don was a neighbor and friend. He is concerned what will happen if they sale their home and besides there are things he would like to look into. Mr. Maloney indicated that within North Olmsted there are many homes, which have existing decks in the rear of their yards. Unfortunately do to environmental issues, owners have asked to make three season rooms or enclose their decks. This applicant would like to have a roof so he and his wife can sit outside and ovoid the weathering elements. The variance the applicant is requesting is not that large and it will improve the property value not decrease it. Mr. Robertson indicated that he has other issues and this is not the time or place for them. Mr. Konold questioned if Mr. Robertson agreed with what Mr. Maloney just said. Mr. Robertson answered "yes" from the board's standpoint. There are other issues that he is not prepared to discuss and he was supposed to be at his daughters band boosters meeting but has to be here. He request to have it postponed for three days or a week. Mr. Kremzar indicated that the board only met once a month. Mr. Maloney reminded Mr. Robertson that Mr. Abshire offered not to extend the roof on Mr. Robertson's side of the lot. Mr. Robertson voiced that he did not think that was true. Mr. Kelly questioned if the neighbors concerns were relevant to the variance being requested as the board could only address the 3-foot variance. Mr. Robertson indicated that he came to the meeting to insert his objection because of the way this was handled and basically that is all he is present for tonight. He is not prepared to do much else and one of his questions has been answered. The rest of it is personal and confidential as far as he is concerned and he would rather not discuss it in a public meeting. However, if he could have a few days to ask a couple of questions then he thinks he could be satisfied. Mrs. Sergi questioned if his questions pertained to the variance request. Mr. Robertson answered "yes" it pertains to this whole situation. Board members voiced that they could only address issues pertaining to the variance request nothing more. Mr. Robertson commented that he was supposed to be invited to the meeting and he wasn't fine, it is not important to you. Board members tried to assure Mr. Robertson that it was not intentional that he did not receive his notice by any means. Mr. Robertson remarked that he did not know what it was or whether there is a fix in or not and he really does not care. Mr. Konold voiced that the board members were sorry Mr. Robertson's feelings were hurt. At this point in the meeting, Mr. Maloney had to use his gavel to bring the meeting back to order.
