Minutes from the 5/20/92 Board of Adjustment Meeting Page 2 CASE #2330 - FRONT AND REAR YARD V ARIANCES TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF A BUILDING ADDITION AT 725 SW ARTHMORE, DENNIS TACCHI REPRESENTING SIDNEY AND KATHY MACHEFSKY Mr. Tacchi requested a variance of ~~ 34-30.3(b) and (d) to permit the construction of a building addition that will encroach into both the required front yard and rear yard. The hearing was tabled until the next meeting by a vote of 5 - 0 to allow the applicant to provide information regarding: 1. The proximity of the mass of the proposed structure to Swarthmore. 2. The total building mass proposed and the form of the structure proposed. 3. Landscaping to be executed as a part of the proposed project. CASE #2331 - APPEAL ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S DECISION THAT THE ROOF STRUCTURE BUILT IN THE SIDE YARD OF 7334 CANTON VIOLATES SIDE YARD REQUIREMENTS AND IN THE ALTERNATIVE A VARIANCE TO PERMIT SAID STRUCTURE, MICHAEL CORN REPRESENTING RICHARD AND ELIZABETH BYRD The applicant stated that the structure in question was a canopy and thus was exempt from yard requirements in accordance with the exception listed in ~34-24.4. He further stated that affected neighbors do not object to the presence of the structure and that its presence was not in any way detrimental. Mr. Goldman testified that it was not the intent of the code to allow roof structures such as carports or patio shelters in side or front yards, that such structures were not "canopies" and that such an interpretation would make it possible to roof over an entire lot. The appeal of the Zoning Administrator's decision was denied by a vote of 5 - 0, thereby requiring the removal of the roof structure from the required side yard. The variance was denied by a vote of 3 - 2. CASE #2322 - MODIFICATION OF SITE PLAN FOR PREVIOUSLY APPROVED REAR YARD VARIANCE TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF A BUILDING ADDITION AT 7752 BURR OAK, DONALD MILLS REPRESENTED BY S & G BUILDERS Mr. Goldman stated that subsequent to the March 18, 1992 Board decision to grant rear yard variance for 7752 Burr Oak, a building permit application was filed for a building addition that is 2 1/2' wider than the one reviewed by the Board when it was granted a variance. He explained that the rear yard dimension of 26' approved by the Board will remain unchanged, but the Board should have the opportunity to review the revised plan. The revised site plan modification was granted by a vote of 5 - O.
