of 3-4.
Michael Minton, attorney for Linda Klosowski, 1615
Rosetree, stated that there is opposition to
permitting this home addition and suggested the matter
be referred back to the Zoning Board of Appeals for a
modification to the plan. The following people also
expressed their opposition:
Resident, 1722 Aztec
Mr. & Mrs. Klosowski, 1615 Rosetr~e
Mr. & Mrs. Kean, 1609 Rosetree
The Petitioner stated that the design of the addition,
as proposed, is due to the configuration of the pie
shaped lot and the wall would only be 4 feet closer to
the neighbors property that permitted by the Code.

These cases, as considered by the Village Board ZBA 6-SU-89
in January and remanded back to the Zoning Board ZBA 7-V-89
due to deficient legal, deal with rezoning the 1796 S.EI/~{URST
subject property from B-3 to B-4, a special use
to permit a drive-thru facility, subject to
conditions, and variations relative to parking
setbacks. The Zoning Board recommended granting
these requests by votes of 5-0.
An Ordinance was presented for first reading that
would rezone the subject property from B-3 to B-4 as
well as grant a Special Use to permit a drive-thru
facility, provided that if the Mr. Beef Restaurant -
being the subject of these cases, ceases operation
the Village would be empowered to initiate proceedings
to restore the B-3 zoning. This Ordinance will be
presented April 18th for second reading.
An Ordinance was presented that grants variations
from the required parking lot setbacks for the side
and front yards. This Ordinance will also be
presented for second reading on April 18th.
ZBA 12-V-89, 1402 Robert Drive ZBA 12-V-89
The Petitioner is requesting the following variations
in order to construct an over-sized, detached garage:
to permit a height of 15 feet, rather than the
permitted 12 feet; to permit a garage 896 square feet,
rather than the permitted 600 sq. ft.; to permit a
driveway 32 feet wide, rather than the permitted 21
feet; and to permit a 3-car garage, instead of the
permitted 2-car garage. The Zoning Board of Appeals
voted 2 in favor and 3 against the request, which
in accordance with the Village Code is a denial,
requiring a 2/3 majority vote of the Village Board
to grant the request.
It was noted by the Petitioner that he owns a boat
and the oversized garage is proposed to house the
boat so it is removed from the driveway.
Trustee Floros, seconded by Trustee Murauskis, moved
to grant the variations requested in ZBA 12-V-89.
Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros,
Murauskis, Van Geem, Wattenberg

The Petitioner is requesting a variation to allow 2001E.EUCLID
a circular driveway and 2 curb cuts, where only
one is permitted. The Zoning Board of Appeals
recommended granting this request by a vote of 5-0.
The Petitioner stated that due to the fact that
Euclid Avenue is a major thorough-fare, a
circular driveway would make egress to his property
safer and more convenient.
Page 3 - April 5, 1989
Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Wattenberg,
moved to concur with the recommendation of the Zoning
Board of Appeals and grant the variation requested in
ZBA 13-V-89.

ZBA 14-V-89 ZBA 14-V-89, 500 East Carboy Road
500 E. CARBOY RD The Petitioner is requesting variations to allow a zero
foot front yard setback for loading dock, instead of
the required 30 feet; to allow a 21' 4" side yard
instead of the required 30 '; and to allow a 1.07 acre
lot in an I-1 District, rather than the 4 acres
required. The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended
granting these requests by a vote of 5-0.
The Petitioner noted that the subject property was
acquired from the Village 2 years ago, at which time
variations were granted. However, due to the fact
that construction did not begin within the one year
period, those variations are now invalid, requiring
this application.
Trustee Farley, seconded by Trustee Arthur, moved to
concur with the recommendation of the Zoning Board of
Appeals and grant the variations requested in
ZBA 14-V-$9.
Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros,

case, is requesting rezoning from I-1 to B-3 for the
subject property. The Zoning Board of Appeals
recommended granting this request by a vote of 5-0.
It was noted that the subject property is the former
location of the Public Works Facility. The Village is
offering the subject property for redevelopment and
the B-3 zoning would be more appropriate for the type
of uses permitted.

concur with the recommendation of the Zoning Board of
Appeals and grant the rezoning being the subject of
ZBA 15-Z-89.
Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros,
