The parcel is approximately 0.7 acres, and the hearing officer said the petition was published in the Daily Herald on May 20 and that no objections were received from notified authorities.

The petitioner, Mr. Faywell, described a narrow rear area, a septic tank and field located at the back northwest corner of the lot, and large oak trees he did not want to disturb. He said, \"We wanna add a prefabricated 20 by 10 shed,\" and explained the house sits close to the rear of the lot, leaving only about 5 feet from the back wall to the fence. He said the only practical location for storage was next to the driveway close to the garage; placing the shed elsewhere would require removing additional vegetation or conflict with the septic system.

Mr. Faywell told the hearing officer that both adjacent neighbors and the homeowner behind the property submitted signed letters of support. The hearing officer said he found the unique configuration, existing vegetation and septic location supported the practical difficulty standard for a variance and that he had sufficient information to make a decision; he previewed an intention to recommend approval. He noted any approval would apply only to the proposed new shed and would not retroactively authorize replacement or modification of an existing older shed without separate relief.

The hearing officer said the recommendation will be considered at the June 18 meeting and then forwarded to the county development committee and county board; no formal decision was made at the May 20 hearing.","A Winfield Township resident requested two variances — placing a prefabricated 20x10 shed in front of the front wall and reducing the interior side yard from 10 feet to about 3 feet — citing lot configuration, existing septic and mature trees; the hearing officer indicated intent to recommend approval and noted neighbor support.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6211760,"Downers Grove Township petitioner seeks 8-foot rear fence for privacy; hearing officer intends to recommend approval",127,712000,839000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3689873-7acfb363b8360ddaf8c785f6e153de89&start=712&end=839","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3689873-7acfb363b8360ddaf8c785f6e153de89/thumbnail_712000.jpg","/articles/6211760/DuPage-County/Illinois/Downers-Grove-Township-petitioner-seeks-8-foot-rear-fence-for-privacy-hearing-officer-intends-to-recommend-approval","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6211760-680faf99c443051a8c76d88feddb4014/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185266&Signature=byO79L-cgiAEgXX~Inyy4UdyJMwSE7SPUCLyejRnHYY5~n8soe40-ziBWvQKT1VUpf~ybr8kaObmG1KIrAYHOIWwOxcFzAIXBxP693pz8J3-95BViK4AlzhTnQ2IIWzVIgO1dInZ9Pl9dMbALABXvKVUfW0DCFntgxEzABVtaluY5-~Bad1Q4p-lOdfKZImMPVNmHr-5qUzLae8qdrQSr5GPwN-bOGgjcbErqrfktKK3M1dU7rXDPg81KVfYhhVBVcX5twR0jr3DHIC6Or6uajQahVwmzr5kCs4RXPE4FFsADulaArBG~pSZ-OpqFaQZH5XZloOX73WgIcUe49nQVw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A petitioner in Downers Grove Township asked DuPage County zoning authorities on May 20 for a variation to allow an approximately 8-foot fence in a rear yard where the permitted height is 6.6 feet. The petition (case 25031) applies to a 0.24-acre lot served by water and sewer, and the hearing officer said notices were sent and he had received no objections from notified entities.

The petitioner, identified in the record as Kim Blaucheck (petitioner), said side fences would remain at the standard 6 feet but she requested an 8-foot fence along the rear to restore privacy. She described yard topography that leaves the backyard visible from the sidewalk and told the hearing officer, \"We have 0 privacy. We have more of a slope than our neighbors...right when the fence starts, the yard on the other side slopes upward to get to the sidewalk, so we have 0 privacy.\" She also raised safety concerns, saying passersby sometimes make comments to children playing in the backyard.

The hearing officer noted exhibits including a survey, a site plan, and photographs. He told the petitioner he had sufficient information to make a decision and said his intention was to recommend approval; he directed that the case will be considered at the recommendation meeting on June 18 at 3:00 p.m., and then will proceed to the county development committee and full county board if recommended.

No formal vote occurred during the May 20 hearing and no final decision was announced.","A Downers Grove Township resident requested an 8-foot rear-yard fence where 6.6 feet is permitted, citing lack of privacy and safety concerns; the hearing officer said there were no objections and intends to recommend approval at the June 18 recommendation meeting.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6211765,"Hearing officer closes rezoning hearing for Addison Township parcel; decision pending",647,46000,693000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3689873-7acfb363b8360ddaf8c785f6e153de89&start=46&end=693","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3689873-7acfb363b8360ddaf8c785f6e153de89/thumbnail_46000.jpg","/articles/6211765/DuPage-County/Illinois/Hearing-officer-closes-rezoning-hearing-for-Addison-Township-parcel-decision-pending","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6211765-1c86f2daa8b71f5c9e55fcbdf6db47ca/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185266&Signature=JYeUSKoEMHWFBEmUkpC3q~Zc0Lf67yyDVksPtAz-3OD1e-rWLwMMqrEz9j0pDNGxGTf08T6q7F9UWNav7qS7V-nVrWilnABkMmPRPBhLtUzfy2cggB7SfP5P6IqF~CeiaQ0-mQVUztNbWQLw21DmDImfKqW868pQLjsLarV7ngJx6KB4-M8Ka38ssDdLB7HrbYLvcvrzP7nIFupJYN4HDWVReibQ0OvoGQu5Gxaxt7SZerXtsK6o4zYNzjiv2UrMiDBTkuHWzue9n7Ew7ZNHS0nbasGFlZYeUtXi4jnHjz1~ZYS0pwwyVpgMeflNqOIw9nLUaXjasPCbWYDKdoupJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A DuPage County hearing officer closed the hearing on May 20 for a petition (case 25022) asking to rezone a roughly 0.3-acre parcel in Addison Township from B1 (local business) to R4 (single-family residential). The hearing officer said the case was published in the Daily Herald on May 20 and that a written decision would be issued soon; the matter will next appear at the recommendation meeting on June 18 and then proceed to the county development committee and full county board.

The petitioner, identified in the record as the property owner/petitioner, told the hearing officer, \"I was just planning on converting it to residential to build a home.\" The petitioner said a structure exists on the lot but is \"not... habitable\" and that they plan to rehabilitate it and add on. When pressed, the petitioner said the lot had been unused for about eight years and that surrounding properties include houses and one corner business he described as a \"Tupperware business.\"

The hearing officer questioned the petitioner about the legal standard for rezoning and specifically whether the parcel, considered abstractly and not by condition of a structure, was suitable for business use under its current B1 zoning. The petitioner initially answered by referring to the condition of the building; after clarification he responded, \"Yes,\" when the hearing officer asked if the parcel would be suitable for business use if vacant and not owned by the petitioner. The hearing officer said he had the information needed to make a decision.

The hearing officer closed the record and instructed the petitioner that the recommendation hearing will be June 18 at 3:00 p.m.; the matter will then go to the county development committee and ultimately the full county board for final action. No formal vote was taken at the May 20 hearing.

A decision on the rezoning petition was not announced at the hearing and remains pending.","A DuPage County hearing officer closed the record on a petition to rezone a 0.3-acre Addison Township parcel from B1 (local business) to R4 (single-family residential); the petitioner provided limited testimony and the hearing officer said a decision will follow with further review by county committees.","actionData","errors"]
