Summary

The Kankakee County Board approved a variance to reduce required lot frontage from 330 feet to 16 feet for a 59.63-acre wooded property on County Highway 53 in Pembroke Township after a unanimous Zoning Board of Appeals recommendation.

The Kankakee County Board approved a variance May 13 allowing a reduction of required lot frontage from 330 feet to 16 feet so a 59.63-acre wooded parcel in Pembroke Township can be developed.

County staff described the parcel as 59.63 acres with access provided by a 16-foot-wide easement. Because the parcel lacks the ordinance-required 330 feet of frontage, the owner, Linn 3, LLC, requested a variance. The Zoning Board of Appeals voted 7–0 to recommend approval; the county planning/zoning authority concurred and there were no objectors recorded at the hearing.

A motion to approve the variance was made by Lowey and seconded by Turner (Moments). The chair called for a voice vote and announced the motion carries.
