INTERESTED PARTIES:
Chairperson Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:32 p.m. Joseph Donnelly made a motion to approve the
minutes of the October 23 meeting, seconded by Leo Floros. The minutes were approved 3-0, with one abstention by
Keith Youngquist. At 8:25, Mr. Rogers introduced Case No. PZ-35-02, a request for a Map Amendment,
Resubdivision, and Development Code Exception and noted that the requests would be Village Board final.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, presented the case. She said that the Subject Property is located on the east side of
Edgewood Lane between L onnquist Boulevard and Golf Road a nd contains a single-family residence ~vith related
improvements. The Subject Property is zoned RX Single Family Residence and is bordered by the RX district to the
north and west and the Ri Single Family Residence to the south and east. The Petitioner proposes to rezone 901
Edgewood Lane and the vacated Sunset Road right-of-way from RX to Ri. The RX district requires a minimum lot
size of 17,500 square feet while the R1 district requires 8,125 square feet. The Petitioner would like to demolish the
existing residence and resubdivide the Subject Property, including the vacated right-of-way, into a t;vo-lot subdivision.
The proposed lots would exceed the R1 minimum lot size requirements, and the homes would meet the applicable
zoning regulations. However, due to the manner in which the surrounding lots were developed and the existing
shallow lot depth, the proposed lots would not meet the minimum required lot depth of 120 feet and would instead
measure slightly less than 119 feet, 118.81'.
The Village's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map designate the Subject Property as Single Family Residence.
The Petitioner's proposed Map Amendment and Resubdivision are in keeping with the Village's des/gnat/on. The
Engineering Division had no objections to the rezoning and Development Code exception, They found that the plat
was prepared in accordance with Village Codes.
In order to approve the requests, the project must meet the standards for each requested action: The standards for Map
Amendments, which are listed in the Zoning Ordinance, relate to: compatibility with existing uses and zoning
classifications of property within the general area of the property in question; the compatibility of the surrounding
lanning & Zoning Commission

property with the permitted uses listed in the proposed zoning classification; the suitability of the property in question
to the uses permitted under the existing and proposed zoning classifications; consistency with the trend of development
in the general area of the property in question, and the objectives of the current Comprehensive Plan for the Village.
The plat was prepared in accordance with the Development Code requirements, but the Petitioner is seeking relief from
the Development Code regulations for the lot depth. Exceptions to Development Code regulations may be approved in
cases of hardship, "caused by conditions uniquely attributable to the land under consideration, would be imposed upon
an applicant by compliance with these regulations and upon a finding that there are alternate feasible means of
fulfilling the purpose and spirit of the regulations to protect the public health, safety and welfare...".The Subject
Property is adjacent to existing single-family residences and the proposed rezoning will be in keeping with the
surrounding area. Although the proposed lot depth is less than the minimum code requirements, it is in keeping with
the lot depths of the adjacent properties. The proposal meets the standards for a Map Amendment because it is
compatible with existing properties within the general area of the Subject Property. While this section of Edgewood
Lane is zoned RX and R1 and it has varying front setbacks, the proposal is consistent with recent development trends
and meets the Village's Comprehensive Plan requirements.
The proposed Subject Properties would exceed the minimum lot size requirements of the R1 zoning district. Due to
the manner in which the adjacent properties were subdivided, it is physically impossible for the proposed lots to meet
the required 120-foot depth requirement. The proposed lot depths would not have a detrimental impact on the public
health, safety or general welfare. The proposed tot depth would not adversely affect the character of the surrounding
neighborhood or utility provision and it would be in compliance with the Village's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
Ordinance.
Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission make a recommendation to the
Village Board to approve a Map Amendment, Plat of Resubdivision, and Development Code exception for the
property located at 901 Edgewood Lane, Case No. PZ-35-02. The Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Larry McKone was sworn in and testified he plans to build two homes 3,600 -4,000 sq.ft, that will be sold for
$750,000 to $900,000. He said he is president of Gettysburg Homes and built homes 3 lots to the north of these lots
about 8-9 yrs ago. He has been building homes for 30 years..
Chairperson Rogers closed the hearing at 8:32pm.

Resubdivision, and Development Code exception for the property located at 901 Edgewood Lane, Case No. PZ-35-02.
