Mrs. Dinopoulos stated that the reason for the addition is to build a mother-in-law suite for her mother. Last year her mother fell and broke her hip and she had to go back and forth to care for her. With the addition, her mother can move in with them and she can take better care of her in the event of another illness.
Holly asked Louise if the addition would be an efficiency or just a bedroom. Louise replied it will be an efficiency with a sink, microwave and refrigerator, bathroom and bedroom.

Hank Grover asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of this request. No one replies. Hank asked if anyone would like to speak against this request.

 

Bonner stated he is not against the request. He is concerned about the water flow when the addition is built with Dinopoulos’ property being sloped.

 

A discussion entailed about this water flow issue. The Board agreed that the addition will not cause any additional water flow issues.

 

Holly Grant asked if the addition will be one story. Dinopoulos replied yes.

3rd Order of Business:
Case #ZA-03-13 – A request by Melissa and William Booth, to obtain relief to reduce their front yard setback to build a walk in cooler addition for property located at 8942 Youngstown Pittsburgh Road, known as parcel number #35071-0-003.00-0, Lot 4. Parcel is located in Poland Township, Poland, Ohio in an (OF) Office zoned district.
Items included in packet submitted:

1. Application for Variance
2. Zoning Permit Denial Form
3. Letter of Intent
4. Warranty Deed
5. County Map
6. Property Description
7. Site Plan

Hank Grover stated that he is a surveyor and it shows on the map the current setback from the right-of-way line is forty-two (42) feet; however, it actually is fifty (50) feet. The proposed setback, less the fourteen (14) foot addition, will actually be thirty-six (36) feet from the existing right-of-way.

Booth stated he bought the business in 2010 and renovated the entire building. He did not maintain the license for the strip club. He was only interested in a bar/restaurant type of business. The reason for the variance request is for the installation of walk in cooler that would be placed in the front of the building. This will allow additional cold storage, which will enable them to grow the restaurant side of the business.

Holly Grant asked Booth the size of the cooler. Booth replied it will be a dual cooler, an eight by eight (8x8) walk in with a four (4) foot freezer. This addition will also allow some storage space, in addition to the cooler.

Bill Custer asked Booth about compressors and fans in the addition. Booth stated the heat would be exhausted out of the side of the building. Custer asked if there would be any fans on the roof. Booth replied no.

Hank Grover asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of the request. No one responds. Grover asked if anyone would like to speak against the request. No one responds.
