18-12802; Porter Pet Hospital; 27527 Lorain Road Representative: Bret Tidwell, builder, 30460 Adams Lane, Westlake, OH; Oliver Doyle, 27570 Butternut Ridge Road Proposal consists of a building addition. Property is zoned B-3 General Business. The following variances are requested: 1. A 5 ft. variance for building and dumpster enclosure setback; code requires 10 ft. setback from property line, applicant shows 5 ft. setback for building addition and dumpster enclosure; Sections 1139.06(B) and 1161.11. 2. A variance permitting a dumpster enclosure in a parking space; code prohibits dumpster enclosures in designated parking or loading spaces, applicant shows enclosure within a parking space; Section 1161.11(B). Mr. Aspery stated that the applicant is proposing to construct a 465 square foot addition to the rear of the existing Porter Pet Hospital building. The addition would follow the existing building line and be set back five feet from the eastern property line, requiring a five foot variance; code requires a ten foot building setback from side property lines. The proposed dumpster enclosure, located just south of the building addition, also requires a variance; code prohibits dumpster enclosures in designated parking spaces. Mr. Tidwell said the architect and engineer decided this is the best location for the addition since the lot is so narrow. Mr. Allain asked if the parking space is used for the dumpster, if the required amount of parking would still be met, the applicant said it would be. Mr. Doyle asked to see where the dumpster is proposed since he did not want it closer to his property. After looking at the plans, he was comfortable with the proposed location. Mr. Allain moved, seconded by Mr. Papotto, to approve the following variances for 18- 12802; Porter Pet Hospital; 27527 Lorain Road: 1.
