Zoning Variation - Docket #99-9
Acting Chairman Paul Kaplan called the meeting to order
at 7: 00 p.m. and summarized the legal notice for the hearing.
Petitioner, Mr. Robert Hlavana was sworn in and asked by Mr. Kaplan
to state his case.
Mr. Hlavana stated that he and his girlfriend, Patricia
Kummer are co-owners of the house, which they would like to provide
additional living space along with a nice front porch. Mr. Hlavana
explained that given the existing structure's proximity to the 25
foot setback line, a variation is necessary to provide enough space
for a usable porch.
Mr. Penley voiced concern over the stairs which will
extend beyond the front porch. Mr. Hlavana responded by indicating
that plans for the stairs have been revised to reduce the stairs to
only one or two steps.
Mr. Schumm asked if portions of the porch would encroach
more than the requested 4 ' -1" . Mr. Hlavana responded, no.
Mr. Hauser asked if the second floor sitting room would
encroach beyond the front porch roof line. Mr. Hlavana responded,
no.
Mr. Franke asked if a new detached garage would be
constructed to replace the existing attached garage. Mr. Hlavana
responded, yes.

Mr. Oliveto asked if the existing foundation for the
attached garage would be sufficient for conversion into living
space. Mr. Zaucha indicated that the adequacy of the foundation
would be addressed in plan review.
Mr. Zaucha advised the petitioner to confirm the
feasibility of constructing a detached garage on the property,
prior to converting the existing garage.
At 7:12, Mr. Rodgers motioned to grant the variation with
the allowable encroachment increased to 5' -1" . Mr. Zaucha advised
the Board that the encroachment of a couple concrete steps did not
warrant the increase to 5' -1" . Mr. Rodgers amended his motion to
grant the variation with a 4 ' -1" encroachment, which was seconded
by Mr. Oliveto. A vote was taken which was unanimously in favor of
granting the variance. The meeting was adjourned by acting Chairman
Paul Kaplan at 7:13 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
