MINUTES
Chairman Staley called a regular meeting of the Zoning
Board of Appeals to order at 7:00 p.m. at the Genoa Township Hall. The
Pledge of Allegiance was then said. The following board members were
present constituting a quorum for the transaction of business: Rick
Staley, Chris Hensick and Paulette Skolarus. Also present were Township
Zoning Administrator Adam VanTassell and approximately 20 persons in the
audience.
Moved by Hensick, supported by Skolarus, to approve the Agenda with the
tabling of petition 02-53 until the next regular meeting of the Zoning
Board. Hensick advised the board and audience that he would not be able
to vote or discuss the petition because of a conflict of interest. Any
action with regard to this request would require at least three votes of
the board and there were only two board members present who could
consider the petition. The amended agenda was voted and carried
unanimously.
A call to the public was made with the following response: Jacqueline
Blair – I would like to have the Minutes of the last meeting of the
Zoning Board of Appeals clarified with regard to petition 02-43. Blair
was asked to provide a written memo to the board and the request would
be considered at the next regular meeting of the ZBA. Tom Crane – I am
concerned with the disposition of discarded building materials on this
site. Staley – That is not an issue that the Zoning Board of Appeals can
pursue. Please take that up with the Ordinance Enforcement Officer.
02-52…A request by Frank White, Section 22, 4058 Highcrest, for 4-
foot side yard variance with a 6-foot setback and a 15-foot waterfront
variance to construct an addition.
A call to the public was made with no response. Moved by Skolarus,
supported by Hensick, to table (at the petitioner’s request) in order to
consider other options with regard to the extension of the deck and
porch into the waterfront variance. The motion carried unanimously.
02-53…A request by Keith Penner, Section 22, 3743 Conrad, for a
variance to split property into nonconforming lots.
Tabled until the next regular meeting of the board.
02-56…A request by Charles Fillion, Section 28, 4089 Homestead, for a
27-foot rear yard variance with a 13-foot setback, a 5-foot side yard
variance with a 5-foot setback and a 1-foot side yard variance with a
9-foot setback to construct an addition.
Moved by Hensick, supported by Skolarus, to table the petition until
such time as the property is properly staked. The motion carried
unanimously.
02-57…A request by Allen and Laurie Keeling, Section 1, 7752 Price
Drive, for a 20-foot side yard variance with a 10-foot setback and a
size variance to construct an accessory structure.
A call to the public was made with the following response: Patty
Holsambock – My home has been “For Sale” since July. I am not sure of
where the property line is located. I would also like to know if there
will be a driveway and will it access the private road. This request is
for a business and I don’t think that is allowed in this area. What will
be the height of the pole barn? Keeling – I am not building a pole barn.
I am building a detached garage, similar to the house. It will be
constructed with 2 x 4 ‘s and be 14’ in height. I will not run a
business of any kind from the garage. There will not be any living
space, but it will have electricity. Hensick – I do not see any hardship
with regard to your petition. Tom Shinavar – I am concerned that the
driveway will be off Price Drive. Keeling – I do not intend to construct
any driveway to the garage. Paul Price – When Mr. Keeling petitioned the
township, he said he was going to use Hacker for access. He shouldn’t be
allowed to use Price. He already has a 3-car garage and a shed that
probably is in excess of the height ordinance.
The petitioner was asked if he would like to have his request tabled
until such time as an engineered survey of his property could be drawn
up. This survey would provide the board with a more accurate description
of his property lines in the determination of the setbacks that he is
requesting. The petitioner agreed. Moved by Skolarus, supported by
Hensick, to table the request until an engineered survey can be
obtained. The motion carried unanimously.
02-60…A request by Stephen Gucciardo, Section 22, 4036 Clifford, for
a 9-foot side yard variance with a 1-foot setback, a 30-foot rear yard
variance with a 10-foot setback and a 4- foot waterfront variance with a
84-foot setback to construct an addition.
Hensick advised the board that the property was not staked. Gucciardo
asked that his request be heard, but without formal action and that a
call to his neighbors be made. A call to the public was made with the
following response: Steve Wray – I am concerned with our property
values. This addition will create a tunnel between our homes since they
are both accessed by a joint concrete walkway with only seven feet
between the two homes. I am also concerned with our loss of the view to
the lake. The application appears to contain two different calculations.
Chuck Williams – I have no objection to the request, but I am not
impacted with the closeness to my house as my neighbor is.
Moved by Hensick, supported by Skolarus, to table (at the
petitioner’s request) until the next meeting of the ZBA. The motion
carried unanimously.
Moved by Skolarus, supported by Hensick, to table the Minutes of the
Nov. 19, 2002 meeting until a quorum is present to consider the request.
The motion carried unanimously.
Note: The next regular meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals is
scheduled for Wednesday, January 22, 2003 due to the Martin Luther King
holiday.
The regular meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals was adjourned at 8:25
p.m.
