Topics getting the most attention in North Ridgeville public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Deck setback variance at 5001 Avon Belden Rd
A longtime homeowner is replacing a 1980s deck that sits 1.5 feet closer to the lot line than current code allows. The board saw it as a minor, like-for-like replacement with no neighbor objection.
Auto spa signage variance on Center Ridge Rd
Immaculate Auto Spa says customers constantly turn into the wrong entrance on busy Center Ridge Road and wants far more wall signage than the 106-square-foot code cap. The board worried about approving an 85% variance permanently and tabled it for a full five-member board.
Unpermitted shed construction on Chesapeake Drive
The Grifes can't build in their backyard — the septic system and drainage occupy it — so they want a storage building in the front yard, a 100% variance. The board is open to it but wants exact measurements and possibly a bigger setback from the road.
