ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS
Mr. Sapelak reported that the YMCA had planned on coming before the ZBA to seek a variance to construct a pole barn in front of the existing building, but then decided to place the pole barn behind the building. They withdrew their request.
BOARDMEMBER COMMENTS
Boardmember Borg informed Mr. Sapelak that the illuminated sign is still in the window at the dental office located at 425 W. Huron. He reminded Mr. Sapelak that when Dr. Stevens was at the last ZBA meeting to request a variance to install a sign he said he would remove the illuminated sign from the window.
Mr. Sapelak said that he would visit the site and send a letter to Dr. Stevens if necessary.
Chairman Hawley welcomed new ZBA Alternate Ronna Freeland to the Board.
NEW BUSINESS Cont.
VA-10-04, Pollicella for 16-10-451-015, 131 S. Milford, #600, Forza Sports Bar, Req. Temporary Use Var. Sec. 94-422
The Boardmembers briefly discussed the variance request and the fact that there was no representative at the meeting to state their intention to move forward with the request or their hardship for the request. They discussed that if they were to postpone the item until the next meeting, the date of the event for which the request is being sought would have passed.
Due to the fact there was no representative from Forza Sports Bar & Grille present for the meeting the Boardmembers agreed the request should be denied.
ZB-10-11 Borg moved, Jaffray seconded, to grant approval to VA-10-04, Pollicella for 16-10-451-015, 131 S. Milford, #600, Forza Sports Bar & Grille, for a temporary use variance from Sec. 94-422 (4). Motion FAILED
