- + BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 14, 2015 ROLL CALL Ms. Rudolph called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers and led the Pledge of Allegiance. Present: Jennifer Rudolph, Laura Bellido, Bob Papotto, Eric Allain, Michael Raig Staff: Law Director Michael Gareau, Jr., Assistant Building Commissioner Daniel Russell, Clerk of Commissions Donna Rote REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES Mr. Allain moved, seconded by Mr. Raig, to approve the Board of Zoning Appeals minutes of August 3, 2015, motion passed 5-0. RESIDENTIAL APPEALS AND REQUEST 15-2640: Ryan Kinlev; 30940 Lorain Rd. Proposal consists of a detached garage. The following variance is requested: 1. A 1 ft. variance for the height of the garage; code requires 15 ft., applicant shows 16 ft., Section 1135.02(c)(1). The oath was administered to Ryan Kinley and contractor Jerry Kilby. Mr. Kinley said the rental home is required to have a garage and the garage will be 30'x 24'. Mr. Raig asked how the rental home would access the proposed garage as the entrance faces north away from the home and appears the gravel drive is on another parcel. Mr. Kilby said the layout of the garage was designed around the topography of the site which slops to the north. The home can access the garage without crossing the parcel line as the gravel will be expanded. Ms. Rudolph asked if the drive would be paved and why the garage couldn't meet code. Mr. Kilby said the height of the garage is due to having an extra course on the foundation to ensure the wood framing is above the water table. Mr. Kinley said the garage will be used for the rental home only. Mr. Russell said looking at the garage from Lorain Road the garage will be the proper height only the north side of the garage is higher due to the slope. Mr. Allain said he has a concern that the proposed garage will be used for the owner's commercial use. However the hardship is due to the topography which slopes to the rear of the lot. Ms. Rudolph moved, seconded by Ms. Bellido, to grant 15-2640: Ryan Kinley of 30940 Lorain Road a 1 ft. variance for the height of the garage; code requires 15 ft., applicant shows 16 ft., Section 1135.02(c)(1), motion passed 5-0. 15-4270: Michael & Danielle Edel; 27373 Linwood Circle ' Proposal consists of a shed. The following variances are requested: l. A 72 sq. ft. variance for a shed; code permits 120 sq. ft., applicant shows 192 sq. ft., Section 1135.02(d)(1).
