Court Says No
To Pool Plea
Joseph and Elizabeth Sawyer
have lost their two-year fight
with the city for construction
of a .pool on their property
which failed to meet the re
quirements of the Zoning Board.
U
a
O
The Board of Zoning Appeals
turned down the Sawyers’ re
quest to build a private pool
because it did not conform to
the city’s demands that there
be 50 feet of land between the
pool and the adjoining property
lines.
Sawyer filed for a writ of
mandamaous to make the city
grant him a permit. He has
said that in his opinion the size
of East Cleveland city lots
make it impossible to comply
with these footage require
ments.
In turning down Sawyer’s
petition, Common Pleas Judge
Joseph Artl said that Sawyer
failed to prove that he had for
mally applied for any permit
and that he hasn’t exhausted
the legal remedies available to
him. The opinion was handed
down July 23rd.
Early this week, City Mana
ger Charles A. Carran re
ceived a three-line letter from
Sawyer requesting permission
to build the forbidden pool. Ac
cording to city officials a three
ine letter is not sufficient to
be considered an application for
a permit.
There is no charge for children
under five.
Boarding time for the big trip is
9:00 a. m. on Monday, August 7th
from the West Third st. dock next
to the Cleveland Stadium. Sailing
time is 9:30 a. m. with a six hour
schedule to Detroit. The ship arrives
back in Cleveland at 10:30 p. m.
