COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS# CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
800 IRONWOOD Mr. Bracher, 800 Ironwood, requested the Board to
allow the existing concrete pad to remain until the
spring, based on the fact that the heavy equipment
necessary to remove the concrete would have a
detrimental effect on the grass. It was noted that
this pad was originally intended as a foundation
for an oversized shed, however, Mr. Bracher's
request for a variation to allow the oversized shed
was denied by the Village Board,
Mr. Bracher also stated that he may reapply for the
variation in 1993.
Mrs. Gear, 709 Hackberry, expressed her concern
about her property flooding as a result of the
concrete pad.
Trustee Boefert, seconded by Trustee Busse, moved
to allow the concrete pad to remain until the first
of the year provided Mr. Bracher files an
application for hearing before the Zoning Board of
Appeals for a ~ariation for an oversized shed and
that if no application for variation is made by the
first of the year, that portion of the concrete pad
exceeding the permitted 120 sq. ft. must be removed
or Mr. Bracher will be issued a citation of
violation.
