3.07 (3a) for .70s off the required sideyard setback distance of 15�
to a setback distance of 1l�.3� from the North property line
for a proposed $� x 20� addition.
Messrs. Floyd Lobash and Jerry Nees were present for the requested waivers.
A permit for the existing dwelling was taken out by Mr. Lobash in 1956. The
neighbors living to the South and to the North of the property remember signing
a waiver form at that time for I�Ir. Lobash to build closer to the lot line.
(North and Sc�uth property Iines are non parallel) This waiver form was never pro-
cesses. Mr. Lobash is applying for waivers to clear up this situation in order to
construct an 8� x 20� addition to the rear of his home.
It was moved by LeRoy Anderson, seconded by Morton Silverman, unanimously
carried, to grant the waiver on the existing structure and proposed addition.
69-12-l�2 7505 Country Club Drive - Trevilla of Golden Valle� (map 17) Skyline Bldrs.
The petition is f'or the waiver of Sec�ion
11.�3 requiring a maximum of two and one half (2x-�) stories. The
waiver to allow four (!�} stories on the followi.ng sides of
the proposed nursing hc�me only,
l. The east elevation of the main structure,
2. The south elevation of the west wing,
3. The west elevation o� the main structure from the south
end the poin� of protrusion of the west wing.
Messrs. Paul M. Pink of Gingold-Pink Axchitecture, Ro11ie Stinski and ftaymond
White of Skyline Builders, and Mr. Frank Harris of Cataract Lodge were present for
the request.
Dr. Hoover, Chairman of the Board, reviewed the background and a letter he
sent to the Village Council meeting on July 20, 1970 wi.th respect to this request.
Mr. Pink had several colored cross sections of the structure which he
referred to in expZaining the elevations in rel�tion to the site. Mr. Pa.nk also
pointed out a landseaped berm extending south from the North edge of the building
on the East �roperty line. A lengthy discussion followed in which the Board and
th.e proponents tried to wark out a solution to the waiver request.
The Petitioner asked the Board for a recess at 10:05 P.M. which was granted
to discuss a change in the petition. (at this time Board member Joseph Brown
asked to be excused because of a previous commitment)
The Chairman called the meeting back to order at 10:20 P.M. at which time
a discussion followed.
It was then moved by LeRoy Anderson, seconded by Donald Franzen, unanimously
carried, to deny the waiver request. The Board in denying the request noted the
land use is good but �he petitioners have e�rtended beyon� the Ordinance require-
ments in height with respect to hardship. The Boaxd would consider the building
as complying with the Ordinance if it were two and one half (21�) stories at grade
on the North side with a line gradually angling down to four (!�) stories on the
South side which the proponent already has a waiver for.
