1 CHAIRMAN GOINS : Public hearing PZC
2 2018-10, James McNamara, petitioner, has filed an
3 application with the United City of Yorkville,
4 Kendall County, Illinois, requesting an accessory
5 structure location variance for 515 West Madison
6 Street . The purpose of this request is to allow
7 a detached garage to be placed in the front
8 yard.
9 The real property is zoned R-2
10 Traditional Family Residence District and is
11 located at the west end of West Madison Street .
12 MR. ENGBERG: All right . And I put a
13 memo in here outlining everything . Mr . McNamara
14 is here, if you want to give us a rundown of what
15 you are requesting .
16 MR . McNAMARA: Sure . Do you want me
17 over here?
18 MR . ENGBERG: Sure .
19 MR. McNAMARA: I 'm not much of a public
20 speaker, but there ' s not much public here .
21 My lot is a very unusual shape and
22 size . In order for me to look at putting a
23 garage in, it doesn ' t fall under the zoning that
24 I had hoped it would have done, so, hence, this

1 is why I 'm here today .
2 I think you have copies of where I 'm
3 going to put it, and the main issue is everything
4 behind me is unaccessible, so my back yard is --
5 I don ' t have a driveway that goes to it, and my
6 side yard, it falls off into a valley or a
7 ravine, whichever you ' d like to call it, so the
8 only feasible place to put the garage is where
9 I ' ve stated.
10 There is ten houses immediately on
11 West Madison; nine of them have two-car garages ,
12 both detached, attached, some of them slightly
13 forward of the house line, some of them -- you
14 know, it ' s very individual on our street .
15 I understand that the zoning is --
16 if I was in a subdivision and I wanted to put a
17 two-car garage at the front of my house, it would
18 look unusual, but I don ' t think it does in any
19 way, shape or form. If anything, it ties into my
20 closest neighbor where her garage is, so, yeah.
21 MR. ENGBERG: And, additionally, I added
22 some of the pictures Mr . McNamara gave me of the
23 location . He needs the garage because there is a
24 giant walnut tree sprinkling down walnuts all

1 over the driveway, so he ' s kind of got a
2 makeshift tent thing .
3 That ' s kind of where the garage
4 would go, and then the rest of the details on the
5 shape of the lot and how it ' s sized and why the
6 yards work out the way they do are in the memo to
7 kind of clarify. It ' s a very unusual way the
8 building is on the lot, as he stated .
9 CHAIRMAN GOINS : Thank you .
10 MR . ENGBERG: All right .
11 MR . McNAMARA: All right . Thank you .
12 CHAIRMAN GOINS : Is there anyone present
13 who wishes to speak in favor of the request of
14 the petition of Mr . McNamara?
15 No response . )
16 CHAIRMAN GOINS : Seeing as there is no
17 one, anyone who wishes to speak in opposition of
18 the request?
19 No response . )
20 CHAIRMAN GOINS : There is no one .
21 MR . ENGBERG: You guys can ask
22 questions .
23 CHAIRMAN GOINS : Do any members have
24 questions of Mr . McNamara?
