Minutes:
A regular meeting of the Zoning board of Appeals was called to
order by Chairman Staley at 7:00 p.m. The Pledge of Allegiance was
then said. The following board members were present constituting a
quorum for the transaction of business: Rick Staley, Judith Stornant,
Jean Ledford, Chris Hensick and Barbara Figurski. Also present were
Township Ordinance Enforcement Officer Adam VanTassell and seven
persons in the audience.
Moved by Figurski, supported by Hensick, to approve the Agenda as
presented. The motion carried unanimously.
A Call to the Public was made with no response.
01-47…A request by Keith Poszywak, Section 27, 4301 Clifford, for
an 11-foot front yard and a 12-foot waterfront variance to construct
an attached garage.
A Call to the Public was made with no response. Moved by Hensick,
supported by Figurski, to approve construction of a single-story
garage with gutters, measuring 24' x 21', granting an 11' front yard
variance, a 12' waterfront variance and a 12,078 sq. ft. variance to
the minimum area requirement. The practical difficulty is the unusual
configuration of the lot. This action is contingent upon the purchase
of the additional parcel of land and the combination of those two
parcels into one tax identification number. The motion carried
unanimously.
0148…A request by Brian Lynn, Section 10, 733 Pathway Dr., is for
a 32-foot rear yard and an 8-foot side yard variance to construct an
attached garage.
A Call to the Public was made with no response. Moved by Ledford,
supported by Figurski, to table until the next regular meeting of the
board to allow the petitioner to calculate the front yard setback and
consider an application that would be less obtrusive. The motion
carried unanimously.
01-49…A request by Bruce Macey II, Section 7, 2455 Chilson
Meadow, is for a variance to construct a detached garage within the
200 foot setback.
A Call to the Public was made with no response. Moved by Hensick,
supported by Figurski, to grant a 140' front yard variance, with a 50'
side yard setback to allow construction of a detached single-story
garage measuring 24' x 32' with a height of 14' to the peak of the
roof. This action is subject to a planting of evergreen trees to
screen the garage from view of the road. The existing trees between
the garage and road will be retained. The facade of the garage will
match the existing house. The practical difficulty is the unusual
topography to the rear of the property that contains a 15' high hill
as well as unusual environmental conditions. The motion carried
unanimously.
01-50…A request by Philip and Diane Brown, Section 11, 1681
Edwin, is for an 8-foot side yard and an 8 foot rear yard to construct
a detached garage.
A Call to the Public was made with no response. Moved by Figurski,
supported by Stornant, to approve an 8' side-yard variance and a 38'
rear-yard variance for construction of a single-story detached garage
with gutters, contingent upon removal of the existing shed. The
practical difficulty is the narrowness of the lot and the location of
overhead electrical wires and the existing well. The motion carried
unanimously.
01-51…A request by Alec and Pamela Savedes, Section 28, 4165
Homestead, is for a 2-foot variance from the principle structure and a
4 foot side yard variance to construct a detached garage.
A Call to the Public was made with no response. Moved by Hensick,
supported by Stornant, to approve construction of a detached and
guttered garage measuring 24' x 24' with a 2' variance between the
principal structure and the detached garage and a 4' side yard
variance to the northeast side. The practical difficulty is the width
of the lot and the location of the existing residence. The motion
carried unanimously.
Moved by Ledford, supported by Figurski, to approve the Minutes of
the 09-11-01 regular meeting of the board with the following
corrections: Pg. 1, para. 7 adding - additional variances would not be
welcome; Pg. 2, para. 6 deleting the word 'planted' and replacing it
with 'maintained'. The corrected Minutes were voted and approved
unanimously.
The regular meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals was adjourned at
8:20 p.m.
