Zoning Variation — Docket #23-2, 511 Willow Lane
Chairman Childress called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and read a statement describing the hearing
notification procedure as well as the legal notice.
The petitioner, William Marshall (Owner of Record), was sworn in and asked to state his case for
requesting a zoning variation.
The petitioner stated he wanted to install a new vinyl fence to finish enclosing his yard for a future dog
and to provide added privacy. If the fence were to be installed where the code allows, it would place it
in a location that would interfere with the house's windows or if brought further back, the usable
enclosed yard space would be diminished.
Chairman Childress opened the meeting to questions from the board.
Members Bookler and Fowler inquired if the petitioner had spoken to his neighbors regarding the
location of the fence.
The petitioner stated he has not.
Member Rawleigh inquired about the type of fence that was proposed.
The petitioner stated it would be a vinyl fence.
Members Glimco, Latrofa and Romanski had no questions.
Chairman Childress stated that the proposed fence would not create any sight line issues. Chairman
Childress stated that no utilities or drainage issues appear to conflict with the proposed fence
placement.
No members of the public were present for the hearing.
Community Development Department stated they received no phone calls or emails and had no
objection to the variation request.
Chairman Childress called for the motion.
A Motion to DO GRANT a variation to permit the installation of a six (6') foot high vinyl fence which will
extend approximately seven (7') feet beyond the nearest front corner of the principal structure on the
adjacent single-family residential lot to the south at 517 Edgewood Lane was made by Member
Romanski and seconded by Member Latrofa.
Upon voting (AYES — Bookler, Childress, Glimco, Fowler, Latrofa, Rawleigh and Romanski) (NAYES-
None.)
(ABSENT — Serrano and Spragg)
The motion carried.
Chairman Childress advised the petitioners to contact the Village Clerk and be available for the
subsequent Village Board Meeting on May 9, 2023.
Chairman Childress called for a motion to adjourn.
