Zoning Variation - Docket #01-18 - 1399 Hodlmair
Chairman Phillips called the meeting to order at 7: 00 P.M. and read
the legal notice aloud. The petitioner, Mr. Ross Flynn was sworn in
and asked to present his case.
Mr. Flynn explained that the main reason for his request was to
build the shed in a location that was aesthetically pleasing to his
family and his neighbors, and also to provide a larger area in his
back yard for his children to play in. He further explained that
since his neighbor to the east: had no windows on the side of the
house that he would also prefer the proposed location since it would
be out of his view.
Mr. Flynn stated that if the variation request was denied it would
still be possible for him to construct the shed in the rear yard
which would conform to the zoning ordinance restrictions. However,
he felt that since the neighboring property behind him had a shed
near the rear property line, constructing a new shed in the rear
yard would make the area look much more cluttered and congested than
it would if he was allowed to construct the shed where he preferred.
Mr. Childers, Mr. Schumm and Mr. Penley all inquired about specific
dimensions which would accurately describe the proposed location and
size of the petitioner's shed. Mr. Flynn explained that the shed
would probably be an 8' by 10' centered between the fireplace chase
on the east side of the house and the side lot line. It was
estimated that the shed would be approximately 10 feet in height and
that one side of the shed would be built up approximately 15 inches
due to slope of that side of the property.
A motion was made by Mr. Kaplan to approve the variation which was
seconded by Mr. Penley. The motion was passed by unanimous vote.
The petitioner was directed by Mr. Phillips to contact the Village
Clerk to confirm which Village Board meeting they should attend for
final approval . The meeting was adjourned at 7:25 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
