Mike Johnston stated that there was no one in the audience to speak either for or against this request.
Mike Johnston stated the proposed structure fits in with the neighborhood and the property, and he has no issues with the proposed variance. Bob Durick stated he also has no opposition, as long as the structure matches the existing home.

Old Business:
Mike Johnston distributed to the Board members a process that he would like the Board to follow in regard to replying to emails that are generated to schedule upcoming meetings. There were no questions and the Board members were in agreement with this process.
In regard to Case No. ZA-07-21, the appellant Dustin Bach spoke to Bob Monus and advised him that the noise reduction parts for the external dryers are still on back order. In the interim, he would like to have a canopy constructed of sound barrier material. He has a builder available to construct it now, so he would like the Board’s approval to do this, until the other equipment comes in.
Mike Johnston stated as long as it meets Mahoning County building requirements; he has no issues with it, and whether it mitigates the noise is yet to be seen. John Grahovac stated he is in agreement to build the canopy in the interim, as long as the other equipment is still installed when it comes in.
The Board discussed this issue further and all members are in agreement for Dustin Bach to install the canopy until the other equipment comes in. Once the other equipment comes in and is installed, the Board will hold another meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
