Case 66-11A Darwin Koet~, petition for back yard variation at 102h Case 68-11^ · E. Northwest Highway. The present building does comply with the Back Yard zoning code. Owner wishes to add a second floor to his building. Variation There would be inadequate parking facilitie°s, and, therefore~ the petitioner acquired the property immediately behind the subject property, across the alley, now zoned P-l, providing twenty-two parking spaces. The rear yard setback would then be ten feet instead of the required twenty feet. The Judidiary committee felt it would be beneficial to the Village if this voluntarily provided off-street parking could be secured by tying the two parcels together~ It is believed that this can be done with a restrictive covenant given in consideration of the granting of the requested variation. The Board of Appeals ia denying the requested variation was con- cerned, and correctly sop with the fact that these ~ere two separate and distinct parcels 'of land. A restrictive covenant tanning with the land would solve the problem. The Judiciary Committee r~commended the granting of the requested variation, as specified, subject to, and in consideration of, an appropriate restrictive covenant recorded against one or both of the parcels involved as may be required. Trustee Bergen objected because he felt the development was too intense if lots are broken apart by separate owners for future user and the covenant would not hold. Trustee Teichert, seconded by Trustee Colfer~ moved to con,ar in the recommendation of the Judiciary ~ommittee and direct the attV~rney to prepare a variation resolution and covenant.
