Zoning Variation - Docket X99-3
Chairman Phillips called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM
and swore in the petitioner, Anthony Zaremba. Chairman Phillips
then read the legal notice and requested that Mr. Zaremba state his
case.
Mr. Zaremba stated that he has a problem with standing
water in his rear yard. He explained that this is due to a
combination of surrounding grades, bushes, flowerbeds and sump
pumps discharging into the rear yards along his block. Mr. Zaremba
stated that a zoning variation would allow him to construct a shed
at the highest elevated point in his yard.
Mr. Zaremba also indicated that placing the shed six feet
(6'-0") from the side lot line would cause the shed to obstruct his
kitchen window. Mr. Zaremba stated that he is willing to locate
the shed two feet (2'-0") from the side lot line, but if he located
the shed further from the side lot line, he would be forced to
relocate an underground cable television line which runs across his
property.
Chairman Phillips then asked each Board member if there
was any questions or comments. Mr. Penley indicated that to
improve drainage, the subject property should be re-graded. Mr.
Zaremba responded by indicating that he could not raise the
elevation of his yard. It was then suggested that Mr. Zaremba
contact the Village 's Engineering Department.

Mr. Franke commented that he wanted it to be clear that
the shed should be located at least two feet (2'-0') from the side
lot line. Mr. Kaplan asked Mr. Zaremba if there had been any
negative comments made by his neighbors. Mr. Zaremba stated that
his surrounding neighbors have indicated that replacing the old
shed with a new shed would be an improvement. Mr. Kaplan also
asked if a concrete slab would be installed. Mr. Zaremba indicated
that due to animal problems, he intended to install a concrete
slab.
At 7:15 PM, Mr. Kaplan motioned to grant the variation,
provided the shed is installed a minimum of two feet (2'-0") from
the side lot line. A vote was taken unanimously in favor of
granting the variance. The meeting was adjourned at 7:16 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
