Information
The Petitioner, Patricia Ramirez,, has an existing non -conforming shed located in the southeast corner of 403 S. Douglas Avenue,
also known as the Subject Property, that is deteriorating. The Petitioner proposes to remove the existing non -conforming shed,
and replace it with a new shed that would be located in the northeast corner of the Subject Property outside of the utility
easement.
R-1 Single Family Residentially zoned lots are allowed up to a forty-five percent (45%) total lot coverage. Currently, the Subject
Property has an impervious surface coverage of 50.27%. Removal of the current shed, and placement of the new shed results in
an impervious surface coverage of 50.33%. A variation is therefore required to allow the proposed lot coverage for this property.
There are several other side load garages near the Subject Property, all of which have to comply with the forty-five percent
(45%) lot coverage requirement. None of those properties have obtained a variation for lot coverage. Per Village Code, the
Petitioner may replace up to 50% of the entire structure. To replace the shed entirely by rightthe Petitioner must comply with
Village regulations and reduce the lot coverage to a maximum of forty-five percent (45%).
Staff has received 8 signatures of support on the requested variatiorl

Commission make a motion to adopt staff's findings as the findings of the Planning and Zoning Commission and recommend denial of
the variation request.
