NOTICE OF HEARING

HOLLAND CHARTER TOWNSHIP ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS

Please Take Notice that a public hearing will be held at the Holland Charter Township Office, 353 N. 120th Ave., (Mailing address: P.O. Box 8127, Holland, MI  49422) Ottawa County, Michigan, by the Holland Charter Township Zoning Board of Appeals on Tuesday, March 22, 2011 at 5:30 p.m. or thereafter, to hear and consider the following matters:

5:30 p.m. – Consideration of a petition for a Nonuse Variance submitted by Douglas and Julie Komejan for vacant property located approximately at 10778 Bridgewater Drive to allow a rear yard of 25 feet to accommodate a deck,  The requested variance is 10 feet from the required 35 foot rear yard.  The property is zoned Residential PUD (70-16-14-220-004).

5:40 p.m. – Consideration of a petition to Extend a  Non-conforming Use and a Nonuse Variance submitted by Germit Somal for property located at 690 136th Avenue to add an addition to the west side of a non-conforming structure and have the parking requirement reduced. The non-conformity exists because the adjacent residential use requires a 50 foot side yard rather than the 15 foot side yard normally required which the property meets.  The addition will have the same side yard deficiency as the existing building.  The requested variance is 35 feet from the required 50 foot side yard. In addition the applicant is asking for a variance from the required parking of 15 spaces to allow the currently provided 10 spaces. The property is zoned C-2 Commercial (70-16-18-400-088).

Any person interested in these matters may appear at such hearing in person or by agent or attorney. Copies of the application and other documentation are on file at the Township Office for public inspection from the hours of 8:00 a.m. through 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on regular business days.  Written comments may be sent to the Zoning Board of Appeals in care of the Township Office.  Telephone inquiries should be directed to the Zoning Administrator at (616) 395-0151.
