NO. 5256 PZ 11-02, 306 N. OWEN ST., DEFER OLD BUSINESS An ordinance was presented for second reading, to authorize the rezoning of property at 1060 W. Northwest Highway, from B-1 to R-2. The rezoning was requested to allow a townhome development. The Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended approval by a vote of 4-2. Bill Cooney, Director of Community Development, noted the petitioner's changes to the project plans, which were presented at an earlier meeting. Trustees Skowron and Wilks stated they would not vote in favor of the rezoning, because they did not wish to set a precedent for future rezoning requests, considering that 1060 W. Northwest Highway is not currently zoned for residential use. Nancy Fritz, President of the Northwest Meadows Homeowners Association stated her satisfaction with the revised project plans, and asked that the Board not support "spot zoning" within the Village. Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Lohrstorfer, moved to approve Ordinance No. 5255: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP WITH RESPECT TO THE ZONING OF CERTAIN PROPERTY FROM B-I (GENERAL- COMMERCIAL) TO R-2 (RESIDENTIAL) FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1060 W.

Nodhwest Highway. The Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended denial by a vote of 3-3, so a super-majority vote was required for ordinance approval. John Ozag, 515 S. Wille Street, addressed the Board in support of the townhome development, stating that the development would be better for the Village than the current condition of the property. Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Zadel, moved to approve Ordinance No. 5256: AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1060 W. NORTHWEST HIGHWAY Upon roll call: Motion carried. Ayes: Farley, Hoefert, Lohrsto~fer, Zadel Nays: Skowron, Wilks An ordinance was presented for second reading requesting variations for the construction of an oversized garage encroaching into the side yard. The Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended denial of the request by a vote of 6-0, therefore a super- majority vote was required for approval by the Village Board at this meeting. Mr. Cooney presented the petitioner's changes to the odginal plan however Board members were not yet satisfied with the requested square footage or setback, Board members also made note of the fact that the garage was constructed without a building permit and without meeting other Code regulations. 3 After a considerable amount of discussion, it was suggested that the petitioner revise his plans again, and present them at the next Village Board meeting on June 18. Trustee Zadel, seconded by Trustee Lohrstorfer, moved to defer this case, PZ 11-02, to the June 18 Village Board meeting. Upon roll call: Motion carried.
