PZ- 25 -12, 317 South Emerson Street SOUTH EMERSON 1St reading of an Ordinance Granting a Variation for Driveway Extension for Property located at STREET- 317 South Emerson Street. VARIATION Mayor Pro Tern Hoefert presented for a first (1 reading an ordinance granting a variation for driveway extension for property located at 317 South Emerson Street. Community Development Director William Cooney provided background information stating the Petitioner is seeking approval of a variation to increase the driveway edge on the interior of the yard by nine and a half feet (9.5') beyond the opening of the garage door. The Village Code limits the driveway edge on the interior of the yard to a maximum three feet (3') beyond the opening of the garage. The Petitioner would like to expand the drive -way to allow for parking of two (2) vehicles side by side; the existing driveway is to narrow and short for parking two (2) vehicles. Mr. Cooney stated staff recommended denial of the request; staff had proposed a permitted alternative to the Petitioner. However, the Petitioner found this option undesirable and financially cost prohibitive. The request was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission at their December 13, 2012 meeting. By a vote of 7 -0 the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of a Variation to increase driveway extension. Adoption of the ordinance granting the variation requires a super majority vote for approval. Mr. Stanely Kosinus (Petitioner) presented additional information and responded to questions from the Village Board. Mr. Kosinus' friend who is an architect was also in attendance and spoke in support of the driveway extension. Mr. Kosinus stated he is unable to park his two (2) vehicles in his driveway; he has received numerous warnings from the police department for not having his second (2) car parked on a hard surface. The driveway extension would allow the required parking surface for the second (2) vehicle and also provide a walkway from the driveway to the house. 3of5 Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the January 15, 2013 Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect In response to questions from the Village Board regarding use of the garage and choosing not to utilize staff's recommendation for driveway extension that would not require a variation Mr. Kosinus provided the following: 1) Garage — the garage is currently used for storage; garage not used for vehicle parking. 2) Driveway extension — due to the existing grade difference between the driveway and south end of the property, proposed alternative is cost prohibitive. In addition, placing the extension where the driveway slopes would detract from the appearance of the property. Mr. Kosinus' architect stated it made practical sense to have the extension to the left of the existing driveway; appearance, cost and long -term use of the driveway extension. Potential for erosion if the extension to the right is not properly done. Village Board Comments -Use of garage for storage rather than vehicle — does not meet qualifications of hardship. -Petitioner has control over use of garage; garage could be cleared for use parking vehicle. -Variation goes with property; must be about usage of the property. Consideration of future owners and neighborhood. ■ Driveway extension to the left would align walk with stairs; differentiate walk from driveway. -In addition to staff proposal there may be other options for Petitioner to consider. -Recognize single car driveways /garages have proven problematic for some homeowners. Village consistent in application of hardship and has denied similar requests for driveway extensions. Mayor Pro Tem Hoefert informed Mr. Kosinus this was the first (1 reading of the ordinance; he could request the waiver of the rule of the second reading allowing the Village Board to vote on the request this evening or hold the request for a second (2 "d ) at the February 19, 2013 Village Board meeting. Mr. Kosinus was also informed should he choose to have the Village Board vote this evening he would not be able to bring forward the same request for variation for one (1) year. Mr. Kosinus asked the Village Board to waive the rule requiring a second (2 "d ) reading and vote on the ordinance granting a variation at this time. Trustee Polit, seconded by Trustee Matuszak, moved to waive the rule requiring two (2) readings of an ordinance: Upon roll call: Ayes: Hoefert, Juracek, Korn, Matuszak, Polit, Zadel Nays: None Motion carried.
