BUILDING & ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED MINUTES FOR MARCH 1, 2021 ROLL CALL Chairman Allain called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm via online public meeting. Present: Eric Allain, Bob Papotto, Suzie Patton, Ralph Mackey, Dan Rahm Staff. Planning Director Kim Lieber, Law Director Michael Gareau, Jr., Administrative Assistant Nicole Rambo -Ackerman REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES Mr. Papotto moved, seconded by Ms. Patton, to approve the Building & Zoning Board of Appeals minutes of January 4, 2021, motion passed 5-0. RESIDENTIAL APPEALS AND REQUESTS 21-18488; Christopher McNamara; 4369 Brendan Lane Representative: Christopher McNamara, owner Proposal consists of a new deck and pool. Property is zoned C -One Family Residence. 1. A 4 ft. variance for side yard setback; code requires pools to be set back not less than 10 ft. from a side lot line, applicant shows 6 ft., Section 1135.02(I). 2. A 5.3% variance for excessive rear yard lot coverage; code permits up to 20% (1,352 sq. ft. based on rear yard area of 6,760 sq. ft.), applicant shows 25.3% (1,710 sq. ft.), Section 1135.05(B)(2). The applicant proposes to construct a pool in the rear yard. Pools and associated decks must be set back at least ten feet from any side or rear property line. The pool is proposed to be set back ten feet; however, the deck is shown at six feet from the property line, resulting in the side yard variance of four feet. Also, the pool and deck contributes to additional rear yard lot coverage. The code permits 20% rear yard lot coverage and the pool, in addition to the existing patio and shed, results in lot coverage of 25.3%. Mr. McNamara said the pool has already been installed under a separate permit and now they would like to install a deck around the pool. He thought the pool setback requirement was ten feet and the setback for the deck was six feet, so that is why the pool is located where it is. Ms. Lieber thought the impact to the neighbors would be reduced because of the fence and the amount of green space in the rear neighbor's yard. Mr. Papotto asked if the fence would be removed, Mr. McNamara said the vinyl fence was installed last year so there are no plans to remove it. Mr. Papotto thought the deck will be a great addition to the property. Mr. Allain agreed and thought the width of the lot was a hardship. Mr. Papotto moved, seconded by Mr. Mackey, to approve the following variances for 21- 18488; Christopher McNamara; 4369 Brendan Lane: 1. A 4 ft. variance for side yard setback; code requires pools to be set back not less than 10 ft. from a side lot line, applicant shows 6 ft., Section 1135.02(I).
