AUSTIN ROOM, BEECHER BUILDING, 908 GAME FARM RD. , YORKVILLE
ZBA 97-1 Request for variance - Zoning Ordinance Article B,
Section 10-6B-4C. Petitioner is requesting a variance of a rear
yard from 40 feet to 36 feet. The petitioner is USA Builders, Ltd
and the address of the property is 712 Clover Ct. , in Country Hills
Subdivision.
Chairman Martin Behrens called the meting to order at 7 :00 AM.
Roll was called and members present were Martin Behrens and Ken
Mandle. Members absent were Curt Medin, Larry Beach, Mike Skinner,
Bob Wenman and Don Altman. It was determined that a quorum was not
present. Also present were Don Rempert, representing U.S.A.
Builders, Building Official Bill Dettmer, Alderman Kathy Jones and
Alderman Jeff Spang. No adjoining property owners were present.
An informal discussion of the petition was held. The previous
builder is no longer with U.S.A. Builders. Bill Dettmer stated
they had met all requirements on paper, but had built the house to
fit in with the arc of the other houses. Adjoining this property
is an empty lot owned by U.S.A. Builders. This request is only for
a back yard variance. The plat of survey passed out at the meeting
shows a 35 foot setback which would result in a five foot variance.
ZBA members Mandle and Behrens recommended their approval of this
variance as it was felt there was no property damage to neighboring
properties.
Bill Dettmer will present a minority report on this matter to the
City Council .
Meeting adjourned at 7 : 15 PM.
