A call to the public was made with the following response: Marty Smith- I am Mr. Peterson's adjacent neighbor to the east and I have no objections.
Moved by Perri, supported by Brady to approve case #08-19, 4977 Oak Bluff Ct., for a 16' rear yard variance with a 34' setback from the rear to construct a 15 x 16 3-season sunroom. The sunroom
is to be guttered. The finding of fact is the narrowness of the lot and the granting of the variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or unreasonably
increase the congestion in public streets, or increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety, comfort, morals or welfare of the inhabitants of the Township of Genoa. The variance will
not interfere with or discourage the appropriate development, continued use, or value of adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. Motion carried Motion carried unanimously.
