Mr.Mark Swimmer, 1551 Rachel Lane,presented his appeal. He is requesting a variance for an addition to his
garage due to the additional storage space needed for his growing family. No negative replies from his neighbors
were received.
Richard Heinrich,Chairman of the ZBA,addressed Mr. Swimmer's comments and gave reasons for the ZBA denial.
Richard Kuenkler,Village Engineer,conducted a line of sight review and as a result,could not recommend the
variance. This request did not show that there were unique circumstances necessary for a variance.The addition
was not in keeping with the rest of the neighborhood, and not an appropriate use of that lot at that location.
Trustee Rubin noted that because there were no unique circumstances,a unanimous vote from the ZBA denying the
appeal,and the lack of new issues,the criteria necessary for an appeal were not met..
Trustee Marienthal could not justify overturning a ZBA ruling.
Trustee Glover saw no unique need.
Trustee Braiman explained there are building lines created that must be followed. In order to change building lines,
there must be unusual circumstances and a need to change it.
Moved by Hendricks,seconded by Rubin,to overrule the Zoning Board of Appeals denial of a variance requested
by Mr. Swimmer. Upon roll call,Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 0-None
NAYS: 6-Marienthal,Reid,Rubin,Braiman,Hendricks,Glover
Motion defeated.
