The petitioner, Krzysztof Szponar, was sworn in and asked to present his case. Mr. Szponar stated the reason for his variation request was because he is remodeling the existing house and would like the front elevation of the house to blend with the renovated construction. The existing front deck will be covered with a roof overhang to help tie into the new look of the home. Mr. Dohrer opened the meeting to questions from the board. Mr. Carlson asked the petitioner when construction of the remolded house would be complete. Mr. Szponar stated the house should be complete within ten(1) months. Mr. Dohrer asked the petitioner if the whole house would be remodeled. Mr. Szponar stated the existing house would be completely remodeled and additions would be constructed to the existing house. Mr. Dohrer opened the meeting to questions from the public. Ted Karamatskos, 416 Charles Drive, slated his concerns about the location of the proposed porch overhang and how it would impact his ability to see Busse Woods from his home. Mr. Szponar stated the new roof porch should have no more of an impact than what currently exists at the site. All the other work associated with his renovation project will not impact Mr. Karamatskos ability to view Busse Woods. Howard Paul, 285 Cosman Road, expressed his support for the proposed variation request. I-Ie indicated the petitioner's home has been vacant and undeveloped for many years. He felt that the new renovation work and variation would be a great thing for the Village and would help to enhance property values around the neighborhood. A motion to grant a variation to alter a non conforming structure and construct of an eleven foot six inch (11 '-6") roof over the front deck that will encroach into the required front yard setback was made by Mrs. DeFrcnza and seconded by Mr. Carlson. Upon voting (AYES—Colgan, Bookler and Dohrer.) The motion to grant the variance passed unanimously.

The house currently encroaches into the twenty five feet (25') front yard setback by approximately one foot ten inches (1'- 10"). Additionally, the Petitioner is requesting a variation from Section 3-6: A(2)(a) which prohibits a nonconforming use from being extended to occupy any portion of the premises which was not originally occupied by the nonconforming use. The current building is located approximately twenty three feet and two inches(23'-2") from the front setback line which constitutes the building as a nonconforming structure.
