Zoning Board of Appeals - Regular Meeting
The Bowling Green Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously approved a variance for a 6x15-foot concrete pad at 923 Darter Drive, which encroached six inches into the required three-foot setback. The property owner had installed the pad for a trash receptacle, unaware of the permit requirements.

Et ze sam bachutz. Hem pashut tzatsu kmo. Good evening. September, 2026 meeting of the City Council of the City of Bowling Green opens now. May I ask you to read the following names? Jerry Anderson here. Jeff Crawford here. Tim Amamer here. Bob McGamber here. Rod Nobel here. David Flyer. Jay Sexton here. Okay. The first order of the day is the approval of the protocol from the meeting of August, 2026 as it was announced. Are there any additions or corrections to the protocol? No nishmehu ka'ele. Haim yesh hatza'a leishur? Hatza'a le'asher et haprotokol kfi she'ufatz. Shniya, ani mitz'taref la'hatza'a. Kol mi shebe'ad yomar, ani. Ani. Ve haprotokol me'ushar. Reshit, bruchim habaim ha'erev. Anachnu mevinim shin. כשאנשים מנסים לדבר איתך על מה מותר ומה אסור לעשות בנכס שלך בנושאי תכנון, זה יכול להיות מבלבל. אז אנחנו מקווים שתרגישו בנוח, אנחנו אזרחים כמוכם, אנחנו אנשים נחמדים בדרך כלל ואנחנו רוצים לשמוע את מה שיש לכם לומר. ואנחנו מקווים שכולם יתייחסו זה לזה בכבוד. אני יודע שחברי הוועדה בהחלט יעשו זאת כשאנחנו שואלים שאלות ומהירים הערות. And excuse me, we only hope that everyone will behave in such a way that we will be able to give your request the full extent of the appropriate heart. As you know from the meeting with the city authorities and from the request you submitted, in the City Planning Code there is a mechanism for giving a loan in situations in which the confidentiality of the code will cause a practical difficulty. Therefore, when you speak to us tonight and present your case, we hope that you will remember this. We hope that there will be a practical difficulty that you will solve from us as a result of the captaincy of the code. So, as we continue, we ask you to go to the microphone for a moment and to sign your name and your signature to the protocol. This is a process of irrefutable. And finally, we ask you to consider telling the truth. Nimtza kan rasham beit mishpat shayetahedet hahalichim, v'im enchem maskimim lehachlatatenu, tuchlu lefnot lebeit ha-mishpat la-arkaot rishonot shel mecho zvud ulehagish shamir ur.

The council will discuss the matter between us and ourselves, and in the end we will vote on this and you will receive the decision tonight. So, when this matter is behind us, if anyone plans or thinks that it is possible to discuss this matter tonight, we will get up and raise your right hand. You will be given a holiday that the evidence you will give about this night is the truth. All the truth and only the truth. God will help you. I will be given a holiday. All right. Very good. I will read the request, and then we will ask Mitzes, our senior planner, to give us a reminder of the relevant laws of service here. Amen. Tsirish Bat, is this true? Darter Dreyev 923 asked for more damage to the construction of an area of concrete with a size of 6 by 15 feet that has already been built, which is a quarter of a minus six inches within the minimum range of three feet from the road in the west. Chase, all right, thank you very much, said Nobel. So this is a pretty similar case to those we saw not long ago, but at the same time not, because it is not an entrance to the store. But what a shame, Adonai Benah is a kind of impoverished area for the effects of the world that it will not be. We did not know how to cross it, so we crossed it as a path, but the problem is the distance to the line of the Nekhes. There the problem arises. But the laws of the Ezer are clear that we have a requirement for the transfer of three feet to each column in each place in the Nekhes. Lepi chukai haezer, seif 150.44 shimushim nilvim. Ani yachol likro et hakol im tirtsu. Aval patyo, dakim, pergulot, svachot, ginot geshem, nadnedot, batey mischakim u vatey ets nidrashim liyot memukamim bemerchak minimali shel 3 regel mikol kavey hanekhes. Then it includes all your roof and ceiling. The same thing applies to the yard outside the road. Area 150.72. All yard entrances must be at least three feet from all the side and back rails. This is the foundation of the three feet that we have here in the city. In Milan terms, because it is most similar to a ceiling, because it is really very similar to a ceiling, but it is a vast area that is sometimes close to a building at the height of the ground without fixed walls or a roof. Patio is usually made of concrete, metals or other building materials, including steel frames, and is not used for storage. So this structure is not used for storage, but for storage. Therefore, it is similar to patio. And here we have a picture of the concrete structure. And this is a picture from across the street from the neighbor's house across the street. And here's a close-up of it. Then you can see that it serves as a backup. And then this picture was sent to us. Mom, I'm not sure I'll take this picture if it was the owners. Okay, mom, take this picture. Then we have this one. And this is the print that was sent, which shows the concrete area at a size of 6 by 5 feet. And it can be seen that there is an order line of 8 feet and minus 6 inches, and because the concrete surface is 6 feet wide, it breaks down minus 6 inches into the range of 3 feet. And that's what brought us here. Amam will read more about this very soon. והנה תמונת אוויר של הנכס. זו הייתה הטובה ביותר שיכולנו להשיג. היא עדיין לא עודקנה כי שכונת המגורים הזו כל כך חדשה, שהדברים עוד לא התעדקנו. אתה בטח יכול למכור את זה בבלק סוימפ בסוף השבוע הזה. זה מאוד אומנותי. בסדר, אז אני הולך להקריא את המכתב שלי לכולכם. עמם, רק כדי לתת קצת רקע על המצב. המכתב הזה נועד לספק רקע נוסף על הבקשה לאשר משטח איחסון מביתון בגודל 6 על 15 רגל שכבר נבנה, החורג בית מינוס 6 אינץ, לתוך מרווח הנסיגה המינימלי של 3 רגל לריצוף מקו הנכס. וכאן יש לכם שוב את תמונת הרחוב של הנכס. אך בית מינוס 17 ביולי 2026, פקח אכיפת החוק מייק קלינגפילד גילה כי בכתובת דרטר דרייב 923 נבנה פתיו בטון אחורי ומשטח בטון צדדי קטן, שלא היו חלק מהיתר המאושר לבית. הקצין קלינגי שוחח עם אחד מבעלי הנכס, מר סשבת, והודיע לו שעליו לקבל אישור ייעוד עבור הפתיו האחורי ושמשטח הצד נמצא בתוך מרווח הנסיגה של שלוש רגל לריצוף והזדקק להתר חריגה. On July 20, 2026, Mark Elling, the official official letter to the owners of the property, asked them to get a zoning certificate and noted that from the side concrete area there is a minimum of 3 feet of sand in the ground floor and requires more damage than the Zoning Fire Department, which is designated as a level A. On July 26, 2026, the owner of the property applied for a zoning permit in order to be able to meet the requirements for the requested properties. This permit is currently in place in the required requirements, after the area of influence and the return of 6 to 15 feet on the western side of the house is within a minimum of 3 feet. This is when the senior planner arrived at the place and issued the measurements. Amam, I talked to Mars Ashbat about the situation and I realized that there is a need to get a foreign deterrent for him from the side concrete area, which is designated as a bucket. On August 4th, 2026, I myself sent a notification via the requested password portal, and I notified that it is necessary to obtain the external password from the side wallet. On August 14th, 2026, Mr. Sider Ashnevat requested an external password via the requested password portal from the side wallet, which is located inside a minus three foot wall of the side wall of the password, which is designated as a comma. We received an email from the last minute from here. I sent to each one of you a copy of the same email that was sent tonight at 6 and 3 in the evening. It was sent by... Oscar Korea, I believe that's his name. Amam, but in the email, he marked the planning section of the town of Bowling Green. Thank you for the notification on August 25, 2026, regarding the request for an extension that was accepted by Sashbat for Dahr 923. I approve the acceptance of the application and the requested extension description for the area of the existing concrete on a size of 6 by 15 feet, that covers a minus 6 inches, inside the existing building. I have no concerns. Thank you for watching. And so, a notification was published in the newspaper in a wide range as required. A notification was posted on the site itself. The rest of the required notifications, according to the management code, were published on time and in the appropriate location. A letter was sent to a regular post to write to a post office of the owner of the property and the owners of the adjacent properties. In this way, all procedural requirements for use have been met. Thank you, Chase. Mar Bat, if you want to enter, speak to the microphone and sign your name and signature for the protocol. Yes, sir. Sidosh A. 923 Darter Dreyev, Bowling Green, Ohio. טוב, 43 דרך אני לא. אוקיי, ספר לנו מה קורה בנכס שלך וזכור את עניין הקושי המעשי שאני. אז, אה, קנינו את הבית הזה באפריל. עברנו בסביבות ה-16.
עמם, אני חדש באזור. הבית הראשון שאנחנו קונים. עמם, ורציתי שיהיה לי סוג של משטח יפה להנחת פח ההשפע כדי שכשיגיע החורף לא נתקשה להוציא אותו. Amam, no haiti muda lechach she anachnu tzrichim eter.

Okay. Questions for Mar Bat from the committee, members of the committee. Mar Bat, when did you find out that the concrete surface does not meet the requirements of the welfare laws?
Ah, this was about two weeks after we built the site. Ah, this was, you can upload it. Ah, in July. On July 17, 2026, the Secretary of State Michael Engel revealed that the site was here. Why did the Secretary of State reveal this? האם זה היה, כלומר, האם זה חלק מתפקידו השגרתי לבדוק אם בנייה שניתן עבורה היתר תואמת את הכללים או לא, או, כלומר, איך זה הגיע לידיעתו. אז זה, עמם, בתו ספרינגס. עמם, כפי שכולם יודעים, נבנים שם המון בתים. עמם, אנחנו מנפיקים הרבה היתרים. עמם, הוא היה שם. עמם, כחלק מתפקידו השגרתי, בודק מרחקים בין בתים ומבדה שהנסיגות תקינות. וכשהוא היה שם, הוא הבחין שפטאיון נבנה מאחור, שמר בת הגיש עבורו בקשה, וגם שהמשטח הצדדי הותקן ושלא התבקש עבורם היתר. אוקיי. אז, מר בת, כשהבנת שהמשטח מבטון אינו תואם את חוקי האזור, הבית כבר היה מוכן וכבר גרת בו עם משפחתך. כן, אדוני. יש. Sh'elot nosafot lemar bat? Amam, ken, rak kdey shehyeh barur kshehani over al hadvareem, bevaalut mi habay, ishti, ishtekha, okey, todah.

Vehem ma'olam lo bikshu heter gam lezeh, nachon, lo. האם הם מי חתם איתם על חוזה לביצוע העבודה הזו? אני. שאלת אותם אם הם. כן, אדוני. הם אמרו לך שהם הוציאו את היתר המתאים. לא, הם אמרו לי שהם לא צריכים שום אישור. לזה גם. זה, זה גם שגוי. האם אנחנו מכירים? האם המחלקה מכירה את הקבלן? Ani lo makir et, et ha-kablan. Ze, noseh ha-matmid, ma she-ani mechapes ze dfusim kan. Amem, hem elu she-mevatsim et ha-avoda betu Saint Springs, aval chutz mi ze, ani lo yodea.

Ken, ani, ani bentayim ha-yachid she-yesh lo patio, ve-chelkam hem ha-yitarim. היום אנחנו מדברים רק על החלק הקטן הזה כאן. אם תרשו לי לסיים, אני אדבר מהר מאוד. עמם אלו, זו החברה שמתקינה את שבילי הגישה. אז אלו חלק מההתרים המאושרים לבתים, בתים בבנייה חדשה. אז, זה לא היתר גורף שיכול לחסות פתיו או משטח פינוי אשפה מוצא. נכון, אם זה לא בהתר הראשוני, זה חייב להיות היתר נוסף. There are more questions? Anyone else interested in talking about this topic? Okay, Mar Batten, you can sit and we'll close part of the public hearing right now. And is there any discussion between the members of the committee? I personally have no problem with that. It's only 15 centimeters. Great, and it's nice that there's something that allows the trash to roll to the side of the house so it won't be on the front of the house, which the city doesn't want. So I'm in favor of that. Yes, I agree with Jay. זה, א, צנוע למדי באופיו, ולמרות שלא פעלנו בדיוק לפי הפרוטוקול הנכון, נראה שהמבקש יביע, א, סוג של לקיחת אחריות על זה. וב מינוס חמישה עשר סנטימטר, אתה יודע, אני לא חושב שזה נראה נחוץ, א. לאחוף יישום קפדני לדעתי. ג'פ. אני מסכים עם כל מה שנאמר הלילה, ואני גם מהדהד את מה שאני חושב של ג'רי יש קצת תסכול ממנו. זה, ואנחנו רואים כל כך הרבה כאלה שבהם נראה שקבלנים אמורים לדעת טוב יותר ואנחנו תמיד צריכים להיכנס לפני או אחרי וסוג של לנקות את זה כשזה מרגיש שין. It may be necessary to be a protocol that breaks, if it does happen, it does not necessarily come to us first, but I intend to support please. I think it's very reasonable. I hate to see mercenaries arresting our citizens in this situation. Bob. Ah, except for the agreement with the statements that Geff just said, I asked Marfut about when he understood that it does not comply with the laws of the service. כי אני לא נוטה להתווכח על חמישה עשר סנטימטר אלא אם כן זה היה מקרה שבו הוא ידע שחוק העזר דורש מטר והוא פשוט המשיך ועשה את זה בכל זאת, אז אולי הייתי מרגיש אחרת. אבל נשמע שזה בא לו בהפתעה גמורה שהוא לא תואם את חוקי העזר, אז על חמישה עשר סנטימטר אני יכול לחיות עם זה. יש עוד משהו ממך, Jerry? לא, אני בסדר. תודה, עמם, אני מסכים. זו בקשה די שולית. אני חושב שזה כנראה לא באשמתך.
