Welcome to the Board of Zoning Appeals.

For a variance to be granted, the board must get sufficient information from your presentation to determine if your property meets the practical difficulty test.

All documents included with an application to the board and any addenda, statements, maps, diagrams, sketches, letters, photographs, or other materials proffered to the board by any person, shall be considered by the board prior to rendering its decision on the application.

No permits shall be issued unless submitted plans conformed to those approved by the board.

If modifications are made to the approved plans, a successive variance request must be filed and approved to account for the modification.

For the record, please sign the form on the podium and state your name and address.

This serves as an oath or affirmation that you will tell the truth before the board.

Thank you, Ms.

Nocta.

First item uh first uh docket number is 07-13-2418169 Clifton Road.

If the applicant uh could please come to the podium, uh sign in, uh state your name and relationship to the property, please.

Uh Mark Reinhold, 1120 Forest Road.

I'm the architect for Mike and Katie Davis.

Welcome.

Um we spoke of uh a remodel um until you get smart enough to realize there's nothing to be saved in the original bungalow.

And I know this is a zoning issue, but this is for a new house where we're trying to do a couple things that are very respectful as far as zoning is going.

We're not trying to create a mansion where there wasn't a mansion.

We're worried about height and the size of the house.

The only request we're coming to the board with is to replace a porch where the current porch is, and that current porch sits 40 feet one from the property, and we're I think 40 feet oh and a half or 40 foot, one and three quarters.

We're we're just based on the geometry of slightly twisting the house to be parallel to the curve of the street.

Um we have a slight difference there.

Um this has gone before um architectural review board as part and parcel of the request um to examine the replacement house prior to granting any uh demolition, but at the same time we did a complete set of drawings that they approved um just last week.

Um last week, Thursday.

Um but for that we did some height studies of the neighboring houses.
