Request-variance to display cars in front set back (7' from sidewalk) - 50' required. Violation of Ord. 62-33, Section 1174.02. Chairman Remmel called all interested parties before the Board. The oath was administered to Mr. Giglio of Kluchin Architects who explained request to display 16 new cars perpendicular to 7' front planting strip and another display area adjacent to side property line on the west (also partiall_y in front set back area). Mr. Bugala pointed out that the Crestmont Toyota dealership is now parking new cars on that property now and are encroaching into 7' set back area as well. He is objecting to this and to the f act that in this proposal display cars will over-hand the 7' planting area. It was pointed out that other dealerships are displaying cars in front set back (either under the grandfather clause or under a variance granted pre- viously). The North Olmsted Datsun dealership did receive a variance re- cently, however, they provided a 15' landscape buffer. Chairman Remmel suggested that a larger buffer would be more satisfactory. Law Director Gareau reminded the Board that the Big "0" dealer had a green area with circular pods set in where new cars could be displayed. Building Com- missioner, Gundy agreed that this would be workable. After some discussion, it was agreed that a 27' green area with circular pods for displaying cars would be satisfactory to the Board. Law Director Gareau suggested that preliminary approval could be granted and that the architect should re- turn to the Board with completed plans. Proposal can still go on to Plan- ning Commission and Council for final approval of the building plans prior to this Boards final approval of variance. R. Bugala moved to grant a pre- liminary variance .t.o display new automobiles in a green area 27' deep from the sidewalk within which 6 automobiles can be displayed within three cir- cular pods and that this design'will be subject to final,approval by the Board and that the variance as requested on the west side will be granted as requested as long as the 27' green area is maintained, seconded by J. Helon, and unanimously approved. Preliminary variance granted.
