Purpose : Construction of Addition that would encroach

Irvine and Marcia Solomon were sworn in and the public
hearing notice was read . Mr . Solomon summarized their
reasons for requesting a variance :
1 . They would like to construct a Three-Season
Room and were informed that their rear yard
setback is thirty-five feet (35 ' ) , not thirty-
feet (30 ) , so they need a variance of three
feet (3 ' ) .
7'8
(ft Tr
2 . They have a pool in the rear yard that Mrs.
Solomon uses for water exercise therapy for
arthritis. She has had to enter the pool from
the back because of the grading.
3 . The Three-Season Room will be connected to an
existing deck so they are the same level as the
pool and provide easy entry.
4 . The Three-Season Room will also be used for
family enjoyment and permit outside dining.
5 . The proposed addition will add to the property
value and enhance the aesthetics of the area.
Ch. Heinrich asked if the Solomons have informed their
neighbors of the proposed addition?
Mr. Solomon said they have talked to the owners of 425
Lamont, but not to the owners of 1215 Lockwood. The room
will not be heated and will not be used in the winter.
Comments from Commissioners :
Com. Hefler: No questions or objections .
Com. Paul : Should not have any impact on neighbors.
The pool is closer to the neighbors than the room will be
and there are trees in the area. No problem.
Com. Windecker: Asked if the room will be constructed with
glass and aluminum?
Mr. Solomon said it will have a series of doors with screens
and the aluminum siding will match the house.
Com. Arbus : No questions or objections.
The Village Engineer' s Review, dated August 30, 1995 (?)
States : "The proposed addition should not affect the
existing drainage in the area. "
No questions or comments from the audience.
