Information
The Petitioners, Leonard and Jennifer Minelli
J , propose to perform several site improvements, including constructing a
new above ground ••• with accompanying ••• equipment and an attached • at 116 S. Kenilworth Avenue (the
"Subject Property"), and are seeking a variation from the maximum lot coverage requirement.
The Subject Property is zoned R-1 Single Family Residence, which allows up to forty-five percent (45%) lot coverage.
Currently, the Subject Property has an overall lot coverage of 42.9%. Construction of the new deck, above ground
pool, and pool equipment would result in four hundred fifty-five square feet (455 SF) of new impervious surface,
increasing the overall lot coverage percentage to 48.35%.
As shown on the site plan, the pool and pool equipment both encroach into the required side yard setback. The pool
encroaches two inches (2") while the pool equipment encroaches just under two and a half feet (2.5"). The Petitioners

Village staff feels that this request meets the standards for variation, including unique conditions not generally
applicable to other property. Due to the amount of livable space -_•'-• • a person with Cerebral Palsy • the

small nature of the Subject Property, the quality of life is hindered by the current lot coverage requirement. A similar
request was approved at 617 Albion Lane (PZ -15-17), where the Petitioner was granted a lot coverage variation to
construct a newl accessible deck for their daughter who also had Cerebral Palsy. Staff supports the variation request
to lot coverage, subject to conditions of approval including complying with setback requirements. Staff
also recommends that the impact to stormwater management is in some way mitigated. This can be achieved by
installing either a french drain, rain garden, or another mitigation option. If approved, the selected option will be
subject to permit review by the Public Works Department prior to construction.
