The Petitioner is requesting a variation from the 1613 ROS~i'~E
required 10 foot side yard to permit 5-1/2 feet
in order to add an addition. The Zoning Board of
Appeals recommended denying this request by a
vote of 3-4.
The Petitioner noted that the subject property is
a pie shaped lot, 100 feet wide in the front and
approximately 50 feet wide at the rear and due to
the configuration of the lot, the addition would
Rave to be angled to follow the lot line which
necessitates the variation. It was also noted
that the home is a bi-level and the only
appropriate location for the addition would be
abutting the one-story portion of the building.
The following people spoke in opposition to the
request:
Linda Klosowski, 1615 Rosetree
Janet Kritec, 1609 Rosetree
Mr. Klosowski, 1615 Rosetree
These residents stated that the Petitioner should
construct the addition in accordance with the
Village's regulations. It was also stated that
the design on the addition will be obtrusive to
neighbors next door.
Trustee Van Geem stated that while he would vote
in favor of the request he would make an on-site
inspection of the subject property and reserved
the right to change his vote when the Ordinance
is presented for approval.
Trustee Murauskis, seconded by Trustee
Wattenberg, moved to deny the recommendation of
the Zoning Board of Appeals and grant the
variation requested.

a resolution of the subject of connecting the subject
property to a Village water supply, rather than
continuing to be service by Citizens Utilities Water.

discussions are underway and he would hope to have a
report for the Village Board at the time these
