The applicant addressed all questions raised in the previous meeting by providing the necessary drawings and documents, satisfying concerns regarding screening and other issues. There was still some concern about the impact of the generator's proximity to the sidewalk and neighboring condos, specifically regarding the reduced setback of 35 feet compared to the required 100 feet. However, it was noted that the generator would not emit noise or fumes, and with the added screening and masonry wall, the impact would be minimized. The applicant also assured -that the generator would only run infrequently, which lessened public safety concerns. The two variances—one for the front setback and one for the rear building setback—were considered as part of a single motion, as the project itself had not changed. Motion passed: 3-1; Ms. Patton opposed. 191-2024; Tony Cerny; 31369 Industrial Pkwy (High Tech Pools) (Ownership Correction: 31351 Industrial Parkway LLC.) Representative: Tony Cerny The project was approved in 2022, but due to a redesign, additional variances were required. The applicant needed more parking for kpotential tenant, leading to the relocation of the building by 18 feet, which caused a setback variance request of 4 feet; 1.5 inches on the east property line. The need, for the variance stemmed from financial and technical constraints, and the applicant emphasized that the setback issue was not caused by the owner but by exte Mal factors, such as financing. The variance was necessary to create additional parking, and the building still provided more space than would have been allowed by code. Clarifications regarding property ownership and financing were also discussed, along with the review, of building and fire code compliance. V Mr. Kovach motioned to approve 191-2024; 31351 Industrial Parkway LLC; seconded by Ms. Patton. The discussion focused on the hardship created by the need for additional parking, which required moving the building. The applicant explained the challenges involved, particularly the parcel separation necessary for financing, which led to the variance request. Had the parcels not been separated, the buildings would have been on a single parcel, and no variance would have been needed. After considering these factors, all members expressed support for the variance. Motion passed: 4-0 193-2024; Kathy Clarke; 25953 Great'Northern Shopping Ctr. (TJ Maxx) Representive Kathy Clarke The applicant requested a variance for a sign exceeding the code's size limit.

The sign's size is proportionate to the building and brand -specific. 11
