The commission and applicant discussed what would be an agreeable solution to the driveway variance
since the commissioners feel the sidewalk width in the right-of-way would not meet the finds of fact. The
commission and the applicant agreed a driveway measuring 30 feet at the right-of-way would be
appropriate.
Commissioner Valerga made a motion to close the public hearing. Second by Commissioner Womack.
The motion carried unanimously by voice vote:
Commissioner Womack made a motion to adopt the findings of fact of staff as the findings of fact of
the Zoning Board of Appeals and recommend approval of a variance to permit a garage addition
encroaching two feet into the southern interior side yard for the property located at 13822 S. Teal
Court, contingent on the following:
1. Compliance with the requirements of the Village Engineer;
2. Compliance with the requirements of the Building Department; and
3. That the applicant will submit an elevation certificate demonstrating appropriate elevation
with the building permit application.
Second by Commissioner Nicholson. Chairman Minnis called for a vote by roll call. The motion is
carried 5:0.
