Mr. Kevin Sobol addressed the Board and answered questions regarding the
variances requested for rebuilding the Speedway gas station at the corner of
Sheldon and Ann Arbor Roads. Mr. Sobol corrected the math error in the variance
requested for the canopy setback. Rather than a 1.4 ft. variance, a 1.5 ft.
variance is requested.
Mr. Sturdy indicated tentative site plan approval has been given by the Planning
Commission, subject to approval by the ZBA of the variances needed. He also
noted the criteria have been met that the Zoning Board must consider in granting
requests.
The Board also discussed how much more attractive the corner will be when the
rebuilding is completed.
Moved by Mr. Sturdy, supported by Mr. Jachym, to grant the five variances
requested in Application No. 1428, Kevin A. Sabol, for the Speedway gas station
rebuild at 1490 Sheldon Road, including correcting the 1.4 ft. canopy setback
variance to be a 1.5 ft. variance.
Ayes all.
The following item was added to the agenda:
2. Consideration of Revised Submission Deadlines for
