TOWNSHIP ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
MINUTES
OF MEETING HELD JANUARY 17, 2006
CORRECTED
A
meeting of the Brady Township Zoning Board of Appeals was held on January 17,
2006 commencing at approximately 7:00 p.m.
Members
Present: Chairman James Dyke
Vice-Chairperson Aileen Greanya
Mike Oswalt
James
Laure
Kevin Allgaier
Absent
was Ed Haberle.
Also
attending were Brady Township Zoning Administrator Glen Lindsey and 3 concerned
citizens.
Chairman
James Dyke opened the Public Hearing.
Paul Casarez, Executive Director of the Indian Lake Nazarene Camp, has
requested variance relief from front yard setbacks in order to erect a ramp
from the Main Street entrance at the Camp owned property at 7956 Central Street. The property is a corner lot, and the
proposed site plan location for the ramp does not meet the required front yard
setbacks on either street frontage.
Glenn
Lindsey, representing SCMCCI, reported that the proposed ramp location is 46
from the centerline of Central Street and 35 from the centerline of Main
Street.
There
has been no written correspondence received about this matter.
There
was discussion about alternatives to the placement of the ramp, including
running the ramp southward instead of northward or erecting the ramp from the
Central Street entrance to the home. In both cases, variance relief would still
be necessary.
Mr.
Casarez stated that there is a large rock and concrete porch/landing 6 x 11 x
30 high at the Main Street entrance of the home. Glenn Lindsey stated that the building code calls for a 5 x 5
landing or turn-around on ramps.
There
was a consensus among the zoning board members that if the site plan were
modified to erect the ramp 5 from the door, then southward, the ramp would be
49 from the center of the road, and 39 from the edge of the road.
Mr.
Casarez stated that he would prepare a new site plan, incorporating the
suggestions of the zoning board members, and submit it to SCMCCI for approval.
After
further discussion, James Laure made a
motion to approve the building of a ramp at 7956 Central Street that will
be 5wide, extend southbound to the edge of the house, then eastbound if
necessary to provide the proper grading.
Mike Oswalt seconded the motion,
and it was passed unanimously.
There
was a motion by James Laure to
adjourn the meeting a 7:30, supported by
Kevin Allgaier and passed unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,
