APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE 180 Underdown Road (Breskman)
The application to construct a play structure in front of the front line of the house was first reviewed at the June 13, 2022 Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, but tabled to the July 11, 2022 meeting, and again to this meeting. The owners were present. Concerns regarding safety due to the nearness of Underdown Road were addressed (significant stand of vegetation, and fencing, provide barriers on three sides; distance from driveway on fourth). The structure will not be visible from the road, and will not be placed in the set back. There are no other suitable locations on the property.
Motion Request for variance from Section 5.07(A-1) of the Barton Hills Village Zoning Ordinance to allow placement of a play structure in front of the front line of the house at 180 Underdown Road was approved. (Darden/Smith/P)
There being no further business or objections, the meeting was adjourned at 6:16 PM.
Janice K. Esch, Deputy Clerk Approved 12.12.22
