North Fairview Avenue. The Zoning Board of Appeals had recommended approval by a FAIRVIEW AVE. vote of 5-0. Mr. Cooney explained that the petitioners constructed the new shed with the same setback as the existing detached garage, not realizing that the garage's setback was less than what is currently required by the Zoning Code. He further explained that staff's recommendation for denial of the petitioner's request was based on the fact that staff is compelled to fotiow regulations in the Village Code, and does not have the authority to override those guidelines. Following a brief discussion indicating that the petitioners made an honest mistake, Trustee Wilks, seconded by Trustee Hoefert, moved to waive the rule requiring two readings of an ordinance. Upon roll call: Ayes: Hoefert, Lohrstorfer, Prikkel, Wilks Nays: None Motion carried.
