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). Motion passed 5-0. 21-18495; William West; 4348 Lansing Drive Representative: William West, owner Proposal consists of a new barn. Property is zoned B -One Family Residence. 1. A 376 sq. ft. variance for the size of a storage building based on the lot size; code allows up to 200 sq. ft., applicant shows 576 sq. ft., Section 1135.02(C)(2). Note: Proposed barn is 24' x 24' x 12'H. Lot is 42,768 sq. ft. The applicant proposes to replace a barn that was destroyed by a fallen tree with a new storage building. For this size lot, storage structures of 200 square feet are permitted. The applicant is proposing a 576 square foot structure, which is 376 square feet greater than code permits. Mr. West said the previous 14 foot by 36 foot storage building was damaged in the recent wind storm and was deemed a total loss by the insurance company. He is requesting a wider garage to allow easier access to his lawn maintenance equipment and recreational vehicles. Ms. Lieber said that it does not appear a variance was granted for the previous barn located on the property, but the storage building proposed is of a similar area. She did not think the proposal would have much impact on the neighboring properties. Mr. Papotto asked if everything from the previous structure would be removed, Mr. West said it would be. Ms. Patton did not think it was a significant request and did not think it would have a great impact on the neighborhood. Mr. Papotto agreed and pointed out that the lot size is close to the next step up in the chart which would permit a larger structure. Mr. Papotto moved, seconded by Ms. Patton, to approve the following variance for 21- 18495; William West; 4348 Lansing Drive: 1. A 376 sq. ft. variance for the size of a storage building based on the lot size; code allows up to 200 sq. ft., applicant shows 576 sq. ft., Section 1135.02(0(2). Motion passed 5-0. 21-18497; Teresa Miller; 24057 Lebern Drive Representatives: Teresa Miller, owner; Tom Miller, 23875 Emmons Road, Columbia Station, OH Proposal consists of a pool deck addition. Property is zoned C -One Family Residence. 1. A 10 ft. variance for rear yard setback of a deck attached to a dwelling; code requires 50 ft., applicant shows 40 ft., Sections 1135.02(C)(4). See also 1135.06(D). The applicant proposes to construct a deck that will be attached to the dwelling and also serve a pool. Code requires that decks contiguous to the principal structure meet the required side and rear required setbacks. The deck will be 40 feet from the rear property line, where 50 feet is required. A variance for side yard setback of the dwelling was granted by the BZA in 1991; therefore, while the deck is encroaching into the typical required side yard for a corner lot by five feet, it is within the variance limits previously granted. Ms. Miller would like to install a sliding glass door on the back of her house and have a deck to connect the new door to the pool. Mr.
