NEW BUSINESS ZBA 19-V-88, Lot 6 - Kathcon Subdivision The petitioner is requesting the following variations: to permit a circular driveway; to allow a maximum driveway width of 30 feet instead of the permitted 21'; -- to allow a garage size of 643 sq. ftl instead of the permitted 600 sq. ft.; to allow a 20 foot front yard instead of the required 30'; and, to allow an impervious surface coverage of 46% rather than the permitted 35%. The Zoning Board recommended denying the request for a Page 4 - May 3, 1988 circular driveway; to grant the request for a 30; driveway provided it tapering to 21' at the curb; to grant the request for a 3 car garage; to grant the 20 foot front yard; and, to deny the impervious surface coverage. The Petitioner explained that this is a 9 home subdivision located on a deadend cul de sac. The lot size is approximately 12,000 sq. ft, 50% larger than the normal requirement for this zoning district. There are no single family homes in the general area except those within this subdivision. Due to the fact that this particular lot is located at the beginning radius of the cul de sac the Village regulations would require the home to be set back farther than the other homes to the west. The petitioner also stated that he would like to have all the family cars garaged which requires a 3 car garage. At the Zoning Board of Appeals the petitioner amended the request for the circular driveway to a "U" driveway - which reduced the impervious surface coverage calculation from 46% to 37%.. The petitioner assured the Board that all Village requirements would be met, including the concern expressed relative to drainage. Trustee Farley, seconded by Trustee Arthur, moved to grant the variations as requested and amended being the subject of ZBA 19-V-88.

ZBA 20-V-88, Kathcon Subdivision The Petitioner in this case requested variations for 8 of the 9 lots (the other lot requested their own variations under ZBA 19-V-88) to permit circular driveways and 3 car garages. The purpose of this 'blanket request' is to eliminate the need for all the property owners to file separate cases since they have all expressed a desire for the 3 car garages with circular driveways. The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended denying these requests. The Petitioner stated that he would like to withdraw the request for the circular driveways but retain the request for the 3 car garages. Trustee Floros, seconded by Trustee Van Geem, moved to grant the request for 3 car garages for Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 in the Kathcon Subdivision, being requested in ZBA 20-V-88. .
