DuPage County Zoning Hearing Officer Robert Cartel recommended a favorable variance to reduce an interior side setback from 3 feet to about 2 feet for a replacement deck, and directed that the recommendation be transmitted to the Development Committee.

DuPage County Zoning Hearing Officer Robert Cartel recommended May 7 that a variance be approved to reduce an interior side setback from the required 3 feet to approximately 2 feet to allow replacement of an existing deck in the same location.

Cartel said the petitioner's testimony met the standards for variation relief and that he would move the matter forward with a favorable recommendation to the Development Committee. "I found that the testimony holds up to the requirements for variation relief request, and I am proposing that this matter move forward with a favorable recommendation from the zoning hearing officer to the development committee," he said.

According to the hearing summary, the request is to replace an existing deck in the same footprint but with a new deck; the requested reduction is roughly one foot from the standard interior side setback. Cartel said the written recommendation has been prepared and he is executing it as his recommendation.
