Planner Waldock spoke in reference to County Case. Applicant - Attorney John Peterson for owners Anthony and Gloria Cerra. Location - Approximately 1/2 mile north of 127th Street in Wheatland Township.. Request -- Variance from County zoning regulations for frontage width from 300' to 177.67' and special use permit for a second residence on site. The applicants previously had requested a rezoning and variance in December for . the subject site. The Village decided to submit a legal abjection to the request, Subsequently, the applicants have PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FEBRUARY 19, 1990 PAGE TWO amended their application and no longer seek a rezoning. The request now includes only a variance from County A-1 requirements which mandate a 300'' minimum lot frontage. Also requested is a special use permit to allow two residences on site. The site currently is occupied by a large horse barn and trailer house. The site is an "L" shaped "flag" lot containing 16 acres and having a frontage width of 177.67'. The property is now used as a horse boarding facility with a caretaker's residence (the trailer house). The applicants propose to construct a new dwelling in the east (narrow) portion of the site. They also propose to keep the trailer house and horse facility. The concerns regarding the previous request focused on the proposed 2.5 acre E-2 rezoning area. The possibility of subdividing the site to separate the 2.5 acre E-2 area was not acceptable to the Village as it would have created two non--conforming parcels where one now exists.. Further, a lot division would not allow for adequate access to the west portion of the site. It is generally felt that a single-family dwelling is .appropriate land use in an agricultural property. Further, division of the tract is not permissible without future variances and would not be advisable. However, since no other permanent dwelling structure now occupies • the subject site, staff has no objection to the variance request in this case. It is felt that the use of an existing mobile home as an accessory use (a caretaker's residence) for the stable facility is reasonable. Historically mobile homes have been permitted as a secondary residence in agricultural areas. Plan Commission recommends no objection to the amended County land use application far Anthony Cerra requesting a frontage variance from 300' to 177.67' and approval of a special use perma.t for a second residence in an A-1 Agricultural zoning district. Attorney Peterson spoke representing the Cerra's. In essence, he stated the Cerras would like to build a home and live there. L. Kelly questioned how do we know later they will not want to subdivide the property? Attorney Peterson stated they do not want to subdivide the property. This will allow them a roadway to enter K ~~`~the property. Edward, elle property owner north of Cerra site, 'spoke stating the Cerra s created their own problem and he stated they .have violated the zoning since they purchased the property. Attorney Peterson stated this case is scheduled to go before Wheatland Township Plan Commission April 5, 1990. J. Dement questioned when will the trailer be removed? Mr. Cerra stated the trailer is permanent. Everything we have done on that property has been through approved County permits. Attorney Peterson stated everything the Cerra's have done .was prior to the new County regulations going into effect. Mayor Latta questioned if the trailer could be moved on the property without going • through a permit process? Attorney Peterson stated he .thought it could but the well and septa.c would also have to be moved and it would need a variance. PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FEBRUARY 19, 1990 PAGE THREE L. Kelly moved to concur with the Plan Commission recommendation of no objection to the amended County land use application to Anthony Cerra requesting a frontage variance from 300' to 177.67' and approval of a special use permit for a second residence in an A-1 Agricultural zoning district. Seconded by J. Dement, Vote by roll call Lewin, no; Kelly, no; Gaylord, no; Dement, no; Sharp, no. 0 yes, 5 no. Motion failed. It was the consensus of the Board if the trailer were removed, they could agree with the request for the variance of 177.67' and deny the special use permit for second residence, which would insure the trailer would be removed before the house is built. L. Kelly moved not to object to the frontage variance from 300' to 177.67' but the Board does object to the issuance of a Special use Permit for a second residence in the A-1 Agricultural zoning District and that the Board does not object to a permanent residence being constructed in a A-1 Agricultural District with the aforementioned variance. Seconded by D. Lewin. Vote by roll call. Lewin, yes; Kelly, yes; Gaylord, yes; Dement, yes; Sharp, yes. 5 yes, 0 no. Motion carried. • Mayor Latta directed Planner Waldock to send a letter to the County of the Village's decision on the Cerra County case. Planner Waldock reported to the Board on the Plan Commission Case #250-115905. Applicant - Floor Store and Mare, Inc., Manager - Larry Kinsella. Location - 609 North DesPlaines Street.
