Chairperson Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:32 p.m. Matt Sledz made a motion to approve the
minutes of the May 22 meeting, seconded by Merrill Cotten. The May meeting minutes were approved 4-0. At 7:55,
Mr. Rogers introduced Case No. PZ-20-03, a request for a Conditional Use to construct a porch that would encroach
into the 30' front setback. Mr. Rogers said the Village Board decision would be final for this case.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, presented the case and said that the subject property is located on the west side of Elm
street, between Gregory Street and Memory Lane, and contains a single-family residence with related improvements.
She said that the subject property is zoned R~A Single Family Residence and is bordered on all sides by the R-A
district. The existing home on the subject property is currently set back approximately 31-feet from the front lot line,
5-feet from the south (side) lot line, and 13-feet from the north (side) lot line.
Ms. Connolly said that the petitioner plans to add on to second floor so it is a full second story in addition to installing
an unenclosed front porch. She said that the proposed porch would consist of a wood base floor, wood columns, and
wood steps, encroached no more than 5' into the required front yard. She said that its location requires Conditional
Use approval.
Ms. Connolly summarized the standards for Conditional Uses listed in the Village Zoning Ordinance. She said that 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.
Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission make a recommendation to the
Village Board to approve a Conditional Use for an unenclosed porch to encroach no more than 5-feet into the required
front yard for the residence at 402 N. Elm Street, Case No. PZ-20-03. She said that the Village Board's decision is
final for this case.
