the board's favorable consideration of the application. Mr. O'Malley pointed out a lack of clarity in the write-up regarding the specific code sections applied by noted Director Upton's mention of primarily 1 137.06 and .07. He highlighted variances of seven feet and ten feet for the first and third sections, receptively, but noted that setbacks along the east and west property lines weren't specified. Emphasizing the importance of clear documentation, he suggested they were provided written details of code requirements and the applicant's requests for a clearer record. Director wanted to clarify for the board of the specific code requirements. The specific code section was I I37.07(g). focusing on the distance between the building and the boundary line of a multifamily development area. A formula, incorporating building length. height. and a divisor factor. resulted in a required distance of 103.5 feet. The applicant proposed 98 feet. requesting a 5.5 -foot variance. Mr. Vitale explained that variance request number three was for items one through four on the plans for parking setbacks for buildings seven and eight on the east and west side. Code was requiring 15 feet. they were requesting 10 feet, which resulted in a five-foot variance. Item five on building six they were requesting a seven -foot variance. Item six. on building six on the other side they were requesting a three-foot variance. It was then clarified to the board the original variance request was a ten -foot variance: however, in actuality the variance request was between three and seven feet. It was then determined the buildings would be shifted so that the setbacks would all be five feet. instead of varied. Items six through nine refers to the building locations to the boundary lines. Item six is a request of a 51.4 -foot variance for building number three on the west side. Item seven is a distance variance request of 44.9 feet for building number four on the northwest corner. Item eight is a variance request of 22.1 feet off of building number nine on the southeast side. Item nine is a variance request for building number ten of 15.8 feet. Item number ten is a variance request of 5.5 feet from building number two and the Brookpark rig=ht-of-wa". It was also determined that the first variance request was not required (request one). as the developer has shifted buildings to conform with the code. It was discovered that a seven -foot variance for a parking setback on the southwest corner of the property. which is now identified as number one variance and item number eleven. Mr. Rahm moved to approve: 23-24769; GD3 Ventures: Brookpark and Grace. Three variances based on site plan as amended. Variance one, a variance from section 1137.08 to allow parking setback of three feet, code requires ten feet. seven -foot variance requested. Number two. a variance from section 1 137.07g. requiring building setback of the east, west, and north boundary lines. A: building number two. code requires 1035.5 feet. applicant requests 98 feet. B: building number three, code requires 103.5 feet, applicant requests 52.13 feet. C: building number four. code requires 103.5 feet, applicant requests 58.63 feet. D: building number ten, code requires 55.5 feet, applicant requests 39.68 feet. E: building number nine, code requires 67.5 feet, applicant requests 45.43 feet. Variance three, building number three. a variance from section 1137.08-1, requiring a minimum setback distance for parking area. 15 feet required. applicant requests ten feet. Seconded by Mr. Kovach.
