the April 27 meeting, would be postponed indefinitely. At 8:40, al;er hearing four other cases, Ms. Juracek introduced
Case ZBA-19-2000, a request for a Conditional Use to pemlit the construction of a new home with an attached 3-car
garage in the PA. Single-family Residential Zoning District.
Jeffery Perkins, Planner, introduced the ease, stating that notice had been provided in the newspaper by mailed notice
and with a sign on the property. He indicated that the subject property has an existing home located on a 70' ;vide lot
on a residential street. He stated that the lot is developed with a residence, single-car detached garage and a driveway,
and that the petitioner proposes to demolish the house and construct a new two-story residence with an attached three-
car garage. He stated that the Zoning Code lists three-car garages as Conditional Uses in tile RA district, whether they
are attached or detached. He added that the property and the proposed house and garage would meet ail Zoning Code
bulk regulations.
Mr. Perkins stated that the lot for the proposed house and garage is 70' in width, which is consistent with the RI
Zoning district and that the RI district lists three-car attached garages as permitted uses. He added that the Conditional
Use requirement for three-car garages in RA is to prevent construction of large garages on the 50' wide parcels
permitted in the district.
Following a brief discussion of the Zoning Code Standards for Conditional Uses and their application to the proposal,
he gave Staff's recommendation to approve the proposed Conditional Use, subject to the condition included in the staff
report. He informed the ZBA that the Village Board's decision is final for this case.
