10-25…A request by Dolores Malysz, Section 12, 1300 Clark Lake Road, for a front yard variance to construct an addition.
A call to the public was made with the following response: Mr. Kenneth Frasheski, 1348 Clark Lake Road, stated that he is the immediate neighbor to the east and would like to know when the next meeting is and if comment will be made available.
Moved by Grajek, supported by Figurski to table petitioner requests until the next meeting to give petitioner time to get clarification on the engineering letter submitted by Civil Design Services. Motion carried unanimously.
10-27…A request by John Sherston, Section 10, 1706, 1462 S. Hughes Road, for a front variance to extend existing gables.
A call to the public was made with no response.
Moved by Figurski, supported by Grajek, to grant case#10-27 for a 42 foot variance with a 28 foot setback to allow extension of the roof to accommodate pedestrian ingress and egress. The finding of the fact is the size of the lot facing onto Hughes Road and the topography of the lot. Motion carried unanimously.
10-28…A request by Eileen Klein, Section 12, 1706 High Haven, for a side detached and rear yard variance to allow for an addition to a non-conforming detached accessory structure.
Chairman Dhaehens made a call to the public. Mr. Saunders of 6945 Wide Valley Drive, spoke on behalf of Ms. Bhasvar. Mr. Sanders stated that Ms. Bhasvar has submitted packets of information to the Zoning Board of Appeals to review. He went over some points in the letters to the board.
Moved by Figurski, supported by McCreary to deny case #10-28 for a side yard variance to allow for an addition to a non-conforming structure. The denial is due to no practical difficulty. The petitioner has until June 14th, 2011 to remove the portion of the building that was before the ZBA. Motion carried unanimously.
Moved by Figurski, supported by Grajek to approve the November 16th, 2010 Zoning Board of Appeals meeting minutes as submitted. Motion carried unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 7:58 p.m.
