  1. 99-01… A request by Lakeshore Village, property in Section 06, 2812 Ontario Court, the variance requested is to increase the temporary marketing sign size.

    A call to the public was made with no response. Moved by Hensick, supported by Figurski, to deny a request for signage in excess of the area allowed by the township ordinance. The petitioner presented no hardship or practical difficulty associated with the property. The motion carried as follows: Ayes - Hensick, Figurski, Litogot, and Staley. Nay - Murray.

  2. 99-02…A request by Arlene Holdwick, property in Section 10, 1815 Gray Road, a 4 foot front variance is requested to build a covered front porch.

    A call to the public was made with no response. Moved by Hensick, supported by Murray, to grant a 4' front yard variance for construction of a covered porch. The hardship is the existing location of the house on the property and a dangerous entry. Further, the property will be staked and the township ordinance officer will be sent to the site to review the staking. The motion carried as follows: Ayes - Litogot, Murray, Staley and Hensick. Nay - Figurski.

  3. 99-03…A request by Chris Lander, property in Section 05,3200 East Grand River, to change landscape buffer from 10 feet on both sides of property line to 5 feet on each side.

A call to the public was made with no response. Moved by Murray, supported by Figurski, to grant the 5' variance, as recommended by the Planning Commission. This action is based upon a concern for public safety and the constrictions of the lot and location of the drive thru lane for the donut shop. The motion carried unanimously.

ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS:

Moved by Murray, supported by Figurski, to approve the Minutes of the January 12, 1999 meeting as submitted. The motion carried.

The regular meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals was adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
