Zoning Variation - 554 CHARRING CROSS ROAD - Docket #00-10
Chairman Phillips called the meeting to order at 7:41 P.M. and
summarized the legal notice for the hearing. Petitioner, Mr. McKay
was sworn in and asked by Mr. Phillips to state his case.
Mr. McKay explained he owns two vans which he wishes to protect
from the wear and tear of parking outside. Mr. McKay indicated
that due to no public transportation being available, the vehicles
are needed to commute to work. Mr. McKay stated that at night,
animals such as raccoons have climbed upon the vehicles and
scratched up the paint. Mr. McKay indicated that he has to move his
vehicles in the street each time his two boys wish to play
basketball in the driveway. Mr. McKay also stated that he
originally pursued constructing a detached garage in his rear yard,
but was denied an easement encroachment waiver by ComEd. Mr. McKay
submitted ComEd's notice of denial to the Board. Mr. Mckay also
submitted several letters from neighbors which are in favor of
approving the variance.
Mr. Rodgers asked if Mr. McKay's neighbor had received a waiver to
encroach into the rear easement with a detached garage. Mr. McKay
responded yes, because at the time their electrical service was
being upgraded.
Mr. Walz asked if it would be Mr. McKay's preference to install a
detached garage. Mr. McKay indicated that at this point, he would
prefer to construct the addition. Mr. Walz asked if the side yard
would be able to be maintained. Mr. McKay responded, yes.
Mr. Kaplan asked if rain gutters are going to be installed. Mr.
McKay responded, yes. Mr. Phillips asked if the driveway is going
to be replaced. Mr. McKay responded, yes. Mr. Phillips voiced
concern over an existing parkway tree. Mr. McKay indicated the
tree would not be effected.
