PAT CARDENIA.~ 58 NORTH MESIER AVENUE First on the agenda was the request of Mr. Pat Cardenia, 58 North Mesier Avenue to be able to extend an area variance for a garage originally received in 1999. Mr. Cardenia was not present at the meeting. It was noted for the record that the meeting had not been noticed in the newspaper. Therefore, Ms. Ruder felt that this hearing should not be heard. It was also discussed that the original variance was from 1999 and Ms. Ruder stated she felt applicant needed to reapply with a new application and new notices sent to the neighbors. She went on to state that property owners change in time and she felt the present property owners had a right to be notified. Therefore on a motion by Ms. Ruder, seconded by Mr. Crawford Mr. Cardenia must reapply to the Zoning Board of Appeals and send out a new notice to the newspaper and a new notice to the property owners within 200 f~. of subject property. On roll call vote - Ms. Ruder - Aye, Mr. Crawford - Aye, Mr. Kocan - Aye, Mr. Russell - Aye. At this point in the meeting Mr. Kolb talked to the Board about a parcel of property on 5 Elm Street. He pointed out that this parcel was in a R2-F zone but it was only approximately 5,000 sq. fi. There have been many inquiries about this parcel and there was someone interested in building a single family house on it. They would be coming to the Board next month. It is a non-conforming lot in a R2-F zone and it would be impossible for anyone to build on it within the zoning codes. At this point there was discussion regarding the April minutes. The second paragraph on Page 1 regarding Mr. Frink being nominated as Chairman - Mr. Kocan was absent - therefore the Nay vote should be changed to absent. Regarding Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Smith - Ms. Ruder would like to an~end the second to the last sentence on page 2 to add the fact that they have not proven with competent financial evidence their hardship. At this point Mr. Russell made a motion to approve the April minutes with the above mentioned amendments, seconded by Mr. Crawford. On roll call vote - Mr. Crawford - Aye, Mr. Russell - Aye, Ms. Ruder - Aye and Mr. Kocan - Aye.
