The minutes were approved 5-0, with one abstention by Joe Donnelly. At 7:35 p.m., Ms. Juracek introduced Case No. PZ-22-04, a request for a Conditional Use to construct a porch to encroach in a setback. She noted that the request would be P&Z final. Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, presented the case. She noted that the Subject Property is located on the south side of Carib Lane, between Indigo Lane and Columbine Drive, and contains a single-family residence with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned Rl Single Family Residence and is bordered on all sides by the Rl District. The Subject Property and surrounding neighborhood were developed under Cook County regulations and later annexed into the Village of Mount Prospect. The existing home does not comply with zoning regulations because the attached garage has less than a 20-fo01 exterior yard. The attached garage is allowed to remain in its current location and is a legal non-conformity. The Petitioner is proposing a number of improvements to the existing home, including a second story addition and an unenclosed, wrap-around front porch. The porch consists of wood base, rails and columns. The Petitioner will install grave! fill and a wood lattice skirt to deter animals from burrowing under the porch. The proposed porch will extend 5'6" from the house, resulting in a 25' front setback on the north and a 39' setback from the exterior lot line on the west. The proposed unenclosed porch would encroach into the required 30-foot front yard; therefore the unenclosed porch requires Conditional Use approval. The architect has agreed to scale back the eave to 24", complying with the Zoning Ordinance's Permitted Encroachment limitation. In order to approve the request, the P&Z must find that it meets the standards for a Conditional Use, which are listed in the Zoning Ordinance, and relate to: the Conditional Use not having a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare; the Conditional Use not being injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the vicinity or impeding the orderly development of those properties; adequate provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on Village streets; and compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and other Village Ordinances. The proposal would not adversely affect the character of the surrounding neighborhood, utility provision or public streets and the proposed Conditional Use will be in compliance with the Village's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The proposed unenclosed porch meets the Conditional Usc standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance.
