04-39…A request by Debbie Leek, Section 28, 3997 Homestead, is
to amend existing variance to adjust front and waterfront setbacks.
(tabled 10-19-04)
A call to public was made with the following response: Curt Brown
- I really appreciate the Leeks with how they have been conscience
with the neighbors. The Leeks have done a great job in protecting
the neighbors view. The previous owners would allow the area to
become congested with cars parking in the neighborhood.
Moved by Brady, supported by Ledford, to approve case #04-39
amending the original appeal with an 18 foot front yard variance and
a 28 foot waterfront variance to construct a new home. It was stated
that there were not going to be any decks. The Board found that the
same practical difficulty applies as in the previously granted
variance. The motion carried unanimously.
04-50…A request by Todd and Julie Ovenhouse, Section 10, 707
Pathway Drive, for two side yard and front yard variances to
construct a second story addition and rear expansion..
Moved by Ledford, supported Figurski, to table case # 04-50 for
the next three Zoning Board of Appeals meeting per the petitioners
request. To allow the petitioner time to supply the board with an
engineered survey, structural information from Detroit Edison.
Motion carried unanimously.
04-52…A request by Arbor Bay Development, Section 10, 5536 E.
Grand River, for a front yard variance and parking lot variance to
construct a commercial building.
A call to public was made with no response.
Moved by Brady, supported by Ledford, to grant case # 04-52 for a
15 foot variance for the second yard setback and a 3 foot variance
for the parking lot. The practical difficulty is the new entrance to
the Genoa woods creating two front yard variances versus a front
yard definition. Subject to the planning commission approval. The
motion carried as follows: Ayes- Brown, Ledford, Brady, Perri. Nay-
Figurski.
Moved by Ledford, supported by Perri, to approve the minutes of
October 19, 2004 with corrections. Motion carried unanimously.
Moved by Figurski, supported by Brady to the approve the minutes
