Burk moved to approve the minutes of November 20, 1986, seconded by R. Galloway, and unanimously approved. III. NEW BUSINESS: 1) Halleen Chevrolet Truck Lot, 27881 Lorain Road. Request variance to install conforming satellite dish earth station without installing required screening (entire rear area is fenced). Violation of Ord. 83-154, Section 1367.07. Chairman Kazak administered the oath to Mr. Dumbrowski, constractor and neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Mahoney, Mrs. Beck, Mr. and Mrs. Schmitz, - and Mrs. Weitendorf. Mr. Kazak explained that in November the Board disapproved a proposal to install this satellite dish on the roof of the automobile dealership because of the lack of information on the structure of the roof, and the contractor was advised to obtain this structural information or find another location for the installation.

Building Commissioner Spino stated that the intent of the ordinance is that any dish should have screening immediately around it, not 50 or 60 feet away. Mr. Dumbrowski claims there are other dishes in the city, both commercial and residential, which are not screened.

Mr. Dumbrowski advised that there is no danger involved with a dish and that if the dish is not screened he can put it on a lower pole, and will paint it green or light brown so it would blend in. The residents claim it would still be visible from Dorothy Drive and would be seen by 13 residents of that street. Mr. Dumbrowski explained that any dish must have a clear line of s'i'ght from the
