Since there is no hardship plea it was established by the Board that a -change of zoning would be required. Following discussion,. Mr. Harth was advised that since he is not the present owner of 150 N.E. 96th Street he cannot apply for a zoning change, the owner of the property has to request the change in zoning.

REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF ROOF TOP A/C SYSTEM FERNANDO RODRIGUEZ, 1021 N.E. 93 STREET This is before the Board for approval of air conditioning unit and ducts to be installed on a flat roof structure. Drawing and sketch submitted to the Board by Mr. Arthur Garbarino, the Contractor and next-door neighbor of Mr. Rodriguez, revealed the - 2 - September 23, 1982 the duct work would be 12" off the roof and visible from the back of the residence, and Mr. Garbarino's front yard. Mr. Garbarino advised the Board that the air conditioner would be square and painted the same color of the house for less visability. Following discussion, Mr. Stobs stated that approval of this roof top air conditioning system would take away from the residential character of the Shores, one, because the unit is to be exposed, two, because the duct work will be exposed as in an industrial type development and the Board did not wish to set a precedent in the.Village. Harmony with other structures in the Shores was to be maintained. There was a discussion by the Board members and Mr. Garbarino pertaining to installation of the system inside the residence. It was also determined that the lack of air conditioning did not deter from reasonable use of the property. Mr. O'Connor moved to deny this application for approval of roof top air conditioning system. The motion was seconded by Mr. Palmer and carried unanimously. Reference was made to Section 523 and Mr. Garbarino was advised to make some attempt to make this addition harmonious in character and appearance with existing buildings in the neighborhood. 4.
