PZ -25-15, 308 SOUTH EMERSON STREET, SEAN MITCHELL, 1St reading of AN ORDINANCE TO GRANT A VARIATION FOR SIDE AND REAR YARD SETBACKS FOR A SPORTS COURT This ordinance grants a variation to allow a one foot (1') side yard setback and a nine foot (9') rear yard setback for a sports court for property located at 308 South Emerson Street. Community Development Director Bill Cooney introduced the item stating the Petitioner installed a sports court measuring 19' by 38' in the rear of the property this past summer without a permit. The court is located 1 foot from the south property line (interior side), 11 feet from the north property line (interior side) and 9 feet from the west property line (rear). The variation request is to allow a 1 foot side yard setback and a 9 foot rear yard setback. The current home is setback 21.75 feet from the east property line (front) when the Village Code requires 30 feet. The home is setback 4.91 feet from the north property line (interior side) when the Village Code requires 5 feet. The south property line (interior side) and west (rear) setbacks are conforming. The current home is considered existing non -conforming. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request by a 7-0 vote. A petition of support with 20 signatures was submitted. Additionally, a petition of objection was also submitted with 4 signatures. The Petitioner has requested a waiver of the second reading. Mr. Cooney also stated this surface is considered impervious under the current definitions of the Village Code. While the sub -surface consists of gravel with a plastic overlayment it does not repeal water like concrete. He further stated that his staff has reviewed the definitions of impervious surfaces as it relates to uses in resident's yards. Petitioner Sean Mitchell, 308 S. Emerson provided an illustration of the material used and stated he installed a basketball hoop previously and inquired regarding a permit and was told it was unnecessary. He obtained the materials second hand and proceeded to build the court not being aware of the need for a permit. He stated the court is located where it is on his property due to tree root limitations and slope issues on the property. He stated the subsurface consists of 1 'h inches of crushed stones with a plastic covering. The Village Board directed staff to review options for consideration of impervious surfaces without impacting water run off regulations. The Village Board also asked that staff consider reviewing the penalties for working without a permit as a means to discourage the practice. Village Board decided to let the ordinance stand for a 2nd Reading.
