ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS

NOVEMBER 13, 2007

6:30 P.M.

Chairman Doug Brown called the regular meeting of the Zoning Board of appeals to order at 6:30 p.m. at the Genoa Township Hall. The Pledge of the Allegiance was then said. The following board members were present constituting a quorum for transaction of business: Doug Brown, Kevin Brady and Joe Perri and Barbara Figurski. Also present was Township staff member Adam Van Tassell and approximately 3 persons in the audience.

Chairman Brown gave a brief introduction of the board members and on why the Zoning Board of Appeals exists.

Moved by Brady, supported by Figurski, to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

A call to the public was made for non agenda items with no response.

07-37…A request by Jeffrey Adams, Section 10, 5239 Wildwood, for a front, side and rear yard variance to construct a second story addition.

A call to the public was made with no response.

Moved by Brady, supported by Perri, to approve case# 07-37, 5239 Wildwood, for a 2^nd story addition in keeping within the present building envelope structure with requested setbacks of 3 feet at front, 10 foot rear yard variance, a 35 feet waterfront variance and 2 foot west side variance. The finding of fact is due to the narrowness and odd shape of the lot as per survey prepared by Hughes Land Surveyors dated July 28, 2004 and conditioned upon the structure being guttered with water runoff to be directed toward the lake or supply a catch basin. Motion carried unanimously.

07-38…A request by Sharon Pugh, Section 28, 4101 Homestead, for a side yard variance to construct an addition.

A call to the public was made with no response.

Moved by Brady, supported by Figurski, to approve case #07-38, 4104 Homestead for a side yard of 4'.5" with a setback of 5'.5". Conditioned upon the structure being guttered. The finding of fact is the shallowness of the lot as well as the neighboring parcel to the north that is occupied with a garage mitigates the impact of the shorter setback. Motion carried unanimously.

Moved by Figurski, supported by Perri, to approve the October 23, 2007 Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes. Motion carried unanimously.

Meeting adjourned 6:45 p.m.

Respectfully submitted:

Amy Ruthig
